Clinical Application
This preformed Figure‑4 tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a stable airway conduit for patients requiring surgical tracheostomy or prolonged ventilatory support. The 22 Fr diameter targets patients with medium airway calibers and is commonly used for adult tracheostomy care where a balance of lumen size and external profile is required. It is suitable for use in the operating room, intensive care unit and step‑down settings for airway maintenance, suctioning, and delivery of humidified gases or mechanical ventilation as indicated by the clinical team.
Design & Configuration
The Figure‑4 preformed curvature aligns the cannula with the tracheal axis and external neck contours to promote predictable seating and reduce torsion at the stoma. A low‑profile external configuration facilitates secure fixation with tracheostomy ties or holders and helps minimize pressure on the neck. The smooth, rounded tip profile and internal lumen geometry are designed to reduce mucosal irritation and allow passage of standard suction catheters sized to the stated French diameter.
Instrument Specifications
