Krishaber Luer Trach.Tube Fig.1, 5mm S/P

Clinical Application

This reusable Krishaber-style tracheostomy tube provides a secure, patent airway for surgical tracheostomy procedures and subsequent airway maintenance. The 5 mm bore size is intended for situations requiring a relatively narrow lumen (e.g., smaller anatomy or procedures where reduced profile is advantageous). The integrated Luer connection enables direct attachment of suction, adapters or temporary ventilation interfaces, facilitating secretion management and circuit connection in the operative and postoperative settings.

Design & Configuration

The Krishaber pattern uses a gently curved anatomical shaft that aligns with the tracheal axis to promote stability and reduce focal pressure on the posterior tracheal wall. The Figure 1 configuration denotes the standard curvature and tip orientation used for straightforward tracheostomy access. An integrated Luer fitting provides a standardized connection point for suction catheters and ancillary adapters without modifying the primary tube.
