Parker Trach.Tube Fig.6, 26FG S/P

Clinical Application

This tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a secure airway following surgical tracheostomy or during prolonged ventilation. The 26FG size represents a larger-bore option used when lower airway resistance, easier suction passage, or high-flow ventilation is required. It is appropriate for adult patients with larger tracheal diameters or clinical situations where reduced work of breathing and improved secretion clearance are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 6 curvature is designed to follow the natural axis of the trachea, helping to minimize mucosal contact pressure and improving anatomical alignment during insertion and routine care. A larger internal lumen associated with a 26FG outer size reduces airflow resistance and enables passage of larger suction catheters, which can be clinically advantageous for secretion management. External fixation (flange) and a tapered, atraumatic tip are standard features in this class of tubes to promote secure placement and reduce local tissue irritation during prolonged use.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube
• Pattern / model: Parker Fig. 6
• Configuration: Figure 6 anatomical curvature
• Size: 26FG
• Typical use: Post-tracheostomy airway management, ventilation, and secretion clearance

Material & Construction

Constructed to present a smooth internal lumen and atraumatic external profile to reduce mucosal abrasion and facilitate suctioning and airway care. The overall geometry emphasizes secure positioning and predictable handling during bedside tube changes, suctioning, and tracheostomy care routines.

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.
