Clinical Application
This Krishaber Luer tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a stable airway through a tracheostomy stoma for patients requiring prolonged ventilation, airway protection, or routine tracheal toilet. The integrated Luer connection permits direct attachment of suction catheters or ventilator circuits, enabling efficient secretion management and secure ventilatory support in operating rooms, intensive care units, and ENT procedures.
Design & Configuration
The Krishaber pattern is a classic tracheostomy tube configuration designed for anatomic alignment within the trachea. The Fig. 2 variant incorporates a Luer fitting on the shaft to allow rapid, low-profile connection to suction and respiratory devices without additional adapters. This geometry supports stable positioning through the stoma while providing convenient clinical access for secretion clearance and positive-pressure ventilation.
