Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secured artificial airway for tracheostomy patients. The Fig.5 configuration with a 24FG size is intended for use where an appropriately sized external cannula is required for tracheal access, postoperative airway maintenance, short- or long-term ventilatory support, suctioning, and pulmonary toilet. 24FG sizing places this option within the range commonly selected for adult airway management; confirm size selection against patient anatomy and ventilatory needs.
Design & Configuration
The Fig.5 geometry denotes a standardized tracheostomy cannula profile intended to align with tracheal anatomy and stoma orientation. The 24FG marking indicates the French gauge of the outer cannula, which affects outer diameter and compatibility with inner cannulas, obturators, ventilator tubing and 15 mm connectors. The S/P designation is retained from the model labeling; procurement teams should confirm whether it denotes a packaging, porting, or model sub-type relevant to their clinical protocols. Features to verify with the order include presence of an inner cannula, cuffed versus uncuffed options, pilot balloon and tubing, and obturator design—each has practical implications for suctioning, cuff seal, and ease of tube exchange.

Material & Construction
Tracheostomy cannula assemblies are typically produced in medical-grade polymers (such as PVC or silicone) or metals depending on the model and intended clinical use. Confirm material selection to match clinical requirements for biocompatibility, duration of use, and cleaning/sterilization protocols. Verify whether the unit includes an inner cannula and obturator, and confirm connector compatibility with standard breathing circuits.
