Krishaber Trach.Tube Fig.6, 10mm S/P

Clinical Application

Krishaber-style tracheostomy tubes are used to establish and maintain a secure airway through a tracheostomy stoma in perioperative, intensive care, and ENT settings. The 10 mm lumen is intended to provide an adequate airway for adult patients, supporting ventilation, suctioning of secretions, and access for bronchoscopy or airway toilet as indicated. This configuration is commonly used when a durable, maintainable tracheal airway is required for short- or long-term management.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 6 designation reflects a manufacturer-specific curvature and flange orientation optimized to sit within the trachea while aligning with external fixation points at the neck. A properly contoured cannula reduces focal pressure on the tracheal mucosa and helps maintain luminal patency. The 10 mm bore balances resistance to airflow with the ability to clear secretions and accommodate suction catheters used in routine airway care.

Instrument Specifications

• Model: Figure 6
• Size: 10 mm lumen
• Typical use: Airway establishment and maintenance post-tracheostomy
• Reusable: Designed for reprocessing and repeated clinical use

Material & Construction

Constructed in the traditional metal Krishaber style for durability and repeated reprocessing. The design emphasizes a stable cannula profile and a flange for external fixation to minimize migration. Because this is a reusable device, it is intended to tolerate standard high-level disinfection and sterilization methods per facility protocol.
