Faqs:
  • What is the purpose of the reinforced structure in the endotracheal tube?
    The reinforced structure with a spiral wire prevents kinking or collapse, ensuring a clear airway during patient movement or suctioning.
  • Why is the tube uncuffed?
    The uncuffed design is ideal for short-term intubation, reduces tracheal damage risk, and is cost-effective compared to cuffed tubes.
  • How does the Murphy eye enhance safety?
    The Murphy eye acts as an additional safety feature by reducing the risk of occlusion and maintaining airflow if the main opening is blocked.
