KIMBERLY-CLARK CRITICAL CARE>
Microcuff* Endotracheal Tube
In the fight against healthcare-associated infections, Kimberly-Clark Health Care introduced the Microcuff* Endotracheal Tube, an airway management device designed to reduce the micro-aspiration of potentially infectious secretions into the lungs, a leading cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This superior seal is created by the Microcuff *ET tube's unique cuff, which is made with an advanced microthin polyurethane material that allows the channels formed upon cuff inflation to "self-seal," reducing leakage of secretions into the lungs.
Key Features:
Effective seal at a low cuff pressure to reduce the risk of mucosal damage
Microthin polyurethane cuff material which allows for greater visualization of vocal cords when cuff is deflated to ensure proper placement of the tube
The puncture strength and burst pressure of Microcuff's *cuff are almost double that of conventional PVC cuffs.
