Krishaber Luer Trach.Tube Fig.8, 12mm S/P

Clinical Application

Designed for use in tracheostomy management, this Krishaber Luer figure‑8 tube provides a stable airway for patients requiring an established tracheal access. The device is used to maintain a patent airway during postoperative care, prolonged mechanical ventilation, bedside tracheostomy care, and when direct access for suctioning or bronchoscopy is required. Its Luer interface facilitates secure attachment of ventilator circuits, suction adaptors, and inline filters.

Design & Configuration

The figure‑8 curvature follows the natural anatomy of the anterior trachea and neck, helping to optimize tube position and reduce off‑axis pressure against surrounding tissues. A Luer connector provides a standardized, low‑profile connection point for respiratory circuits and suction tubing, improving workflow at the head of the bed. The 12 mm bore offers a larger lumen for improved airflow and more effective suctioning than smaller diameters, which can be important for ventilatory support and secretion management.
