Clinical Application
Designed for use in tracheostomy procedures and tube exchanges, this tube provides a secure, large-bore airway for adult patients who require prolonged ventilatory support or frequent suctioning. The 32 Fr lumen accommodates higher flow and easier clearance of viscous secretions compared with smaller sizes, making it suitable for patients with thick secretions or when lower resistance to ventilation is required. Intended for use by clinicians experienced in airway management in the OR, ICU, or dedicated procedure areas.
Design & Configuration
The figure-8 external flange provides two lateral fixation points for tracheostomy ties or sutures, reducing rotational movement and improving stability during patient repositioning and routine care. The Fuller pattern is a recognized tracheostomy tube design that balances a secure external seating profile with a practicable external contour for dressing changes and tube handling. A larger 32 Fr bore reduces airflow resistance and eases instrumentation for suctioning while maintaining a stable external interface for connector attachment.
