Portex Sacett Suction Above Cuff Endotracheal Tube

The Portex Sacett Suction Above Cuff Endotracheal Tube is a suction port above the cuff can assist in reducing the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia. This Sacett suction has been specifically designed to reduces the risk of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). The Sacett combines its quality features with the ability to remove secretions from above the cuff while leaving the tube in position.

KEY FEATURES:

• The low pressure, high volume soft seal cuff is intended to minimize trauma to the trachea and protect the patient’s airway when inflated by maintaining the air delivered from a ventilator to a patient's lungs  preventing aspiration
• The soft seal cuff is shaped to encourage secretions to pool around the evacuation opening
• Ensures your patient has the ideal tube to ensure comfort and functionality
• The unique feature of the Sacett is to aid the pooling of secretions for aspiration
• The integral suction lumen allows removal of pooled secretions which may lead to patient discomfort and lead to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). A spring-loaded, one-way valve helps ensure cuff inflation and integrity
• The large ergonomic pilot balloon makes it easier to distinguish between the sound of suction and that of a cuff leak and enables the tube size to be identified in position
• The yellow coded suction line & connector enables easy identification and the prevention of accidental cutting.  Suction line cap is intended to prevent contaminants entering the lumen when suction is suspended, such as during patient transport
• Clear PVC material with radiopaque marker enables clear visualization for correct tube positioning whilst enabling breath misting to be seen
• The smooth cuff-to-tube weld polished tapered tip with murphy eye designed to reduce trauma to the patient’s airway during intubation and extubation
• The tube has a 15mm connector enabling connection to anesthetic and ventilator breathing circuits
