Krishaber Trach.Tube Fig.3, 7mm S/P

Clinical Application

This Krishaber Fig. 3 tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a stable tracheal airway after surgical or percutaneous tracheostomy. The 7 mm size is appropriate for patients requiring a mid-range lumen for spontaneous breathing, ventilator support, and routine suctioning. The design is useful for temporary and longer-term airway management in ICU, step-down, and surgical settings. When selecting this tube, confirm whether a cuffed or uncuffed variant is required and verify connector compatibility with ventilator circuits and suction equipment.

Design & Configuration

The Krishaber pattern features an anatomically curved shaft that follows the airway’s natural contour and an external neck plate (flange) for secure fixation with ties or straps. The Fig. 3 designation denotes the common curvature and mounting geometry used for standard adult tracheostomy care. This geometry reduces kinking risk, helps maintain luminal patency, and positions the distal tip to minimize mucosal trauma while allowing effective suctioning and passage of bronchoscopic instruments when needed.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Tracheostomy tube (Krishaber pattern, Fig. 3)
• Nominal size: 7 mm
• Configuration: Curved shaft with external neck plate for fixation
• Intended uses: Airway maintenance, ventilation interface, suction access
• Reusable construction designed for repeated sterilization

Material & Construction

Krishaber-style tracheostomy tubes are traditionally manufactured from medical-grade metal and finished to a smooth surface to reduce secretion adherence and facilitate cleaning. Reusable metal construction permits repeated sterilization cycles and provides dimensional stability compared with single-use materials. Confirm material finish and sterilization instructions with the product datasheet for facility processing protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
