Clinical Application
This Figure-7 tracheostomy tube is intended for establishment and maintenance of a secure airway in patients with a tracheostomy stoma. The 28 French sizing positions the device for adult airway management where a larger internal lumen is required to reduce airway resistance, facilitate effective ventilation, and permit passage of suction catheters for pulmonary toilet. Typical settings include operating rooms, intensive care units, step-down units, and long-term tracheostomy care.
Design & Configuration
The Figure-7 profile provides an anatomic curvature intended to follow the tracheal axis and stoma orientation, which can improve tube siting and reduce focal pressure on the stoma and adjacent tissues. The larger 28 FG lumen supports higher flow and improved suctioning efficiency compared with smaller calibers. The model coding (Figure-7) signals a specific bend geometry that clinicians use when selecting a tube to match patient anatomy and neck placement.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube
- Pattern / model: Cubley Figure 7
- Configuration: Figure-7 anatomical profile
- Size: 28 FG
- Typical use: Airway maintenance, ventilation and suctioning in adult tracheostomy patients
- Reusable: Intended for reprocessing
Material & Construction
Constructed from medical-grade, reprocessable materials and engineered for repeated sterilization cycles and clinical handling. The tube geometry and wall thickness are balanced to provide patency and resistance to kinking while remaining compatible with standard reprocessing protocols used for reusable airway devices.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
