Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure, low-resistance airway through a tracheostomy stoma, this Krishaber Luer Fig. 3 tube supports positive-pressure ventilation, facilitates suctioning of secretions, and provides a stable conduit for airway management in the operating room and intensive care unit. The 7 mm lumen dimension is intended for patients requiring that internal diameter and helps maintain effective ventilation while allowing passage of standard suction catheters and adjunct airway devices sized for a 7 mm tube.
Design & Configuration
The Fig. 3 Krishaber design features a curved, anatomically oriented profile that aligns with the tracheal axis to reduce kinking and improve patient comfort. The integrated Luer connection provides a standard interface for attachment to ventilator circuits, manual resuscitators, and inline suction/filters. The straight internal lumen and unobstructed bore support efficient suctioning and secretion clearance during postoperative and long-term airway care.
