Wagener Mosher Tracheostomy Tube 5mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide a direct airway through a surgical stoma, this 5 mm tracheostomy tube is indicated for establishment and maintenance of tracheal access where endotracheal intubation is not suitable or long‑term airway control is required. The 5 mm diameter is commonly selected for smaller pediatric airways or adult patients with narrow tracheal anatomy. Clinical uses include facilitation of mechanical ventilation, bypass of upper airway obstruction, pulmonary toilet and suctioning, and staged care during decannulation planning.

Design & Configuration

The device follows the Wagener Mosher pattern, a recognized surgical configuration optimized for tracheostomy insertion and secure placement. Tube diameter and internal lumen size directly affect airway resistance, ventilator circuit performance, and the maximum suction catheter size that can be used safely. Clinicians should select a 5 mm tube when balancing the need for adequate ventilation against the requirement for a smaller external profile—important for pediatric patients or anatomies with limited tracheal diameter. A compatible flange or fixation method secures the tube at the stoma to reduce migration and minimize skin trauma during long‑term use.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube
• Pattern / model: Wagener Mosher
• Configuration: Single‑lumen airway tube
• Size: 5 mm (tube diameter)
• Typical use: Long‑term airway access, ventilation, suctioning, and airway protection

Material & Construction

Manufactured to precision tolerances with medical‑grade construction suitable for clinical use. The tube design emphasizes a smooth, atraumatic internal lumen and external profile to minimize mucosal irritation and facilitate passage of suction catheters and bronchoscopic devices within the limits of the 5 mm diameter.

Quality & Compliance

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