Tracheal tubes with a suction port above the cuff can assist in reducing the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia.<\/p>\n
The Portex\u00ae Suction Above the Cuff Endotracheal Tube (SACETT\u00ae) is part of the Blue Line\u00ae range of Endotracheal tubes.\u00a0 It has been specifically designed to reduce VAP. The SACETT\u00ae combines the quality features of the Blue Line\u00ae range with the ability to remove secretions from above the cuff while leaving the tube in position.<\/p>\n
The incorporation of an additional posterior lumen with a subglottic evacuation opening above the cuff enables continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS).<\/p>\n
The low pressure, high volume Soft-Seal\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0cuff is intended to minimise trauma to the trachea and protect the patient\u2019s airway when inflated by maintaining the air delivered from a ventilator to a patient’s lungs preventing aspiration. \u00a0The Soft-Seal\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0cuff is shaped to encourage secretions to pool around the evacuation opening.<\/p>\n A range of sizes are available to ensure your patient has the ideal tube to ensure comfort and functionality.<\/p>\n The unique feature of SACETT\u00ae is the incorporation of the high-volume, low pressure Soft-Seal\u00ae reverse cuff to aid the pooling of secretions for aspiration.<\/p>\n The integral suction lumen of Blue Line Ultra SACETT\u00ae allows removal of pooled secretions which may lead to patient discomfort and lead to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).<\/p>\n 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,\u00a0a<\/ins> The yellow coded suction line and connector enables easy identification and the prevention of accidental cutting.\u00a0 Suction line cap is intended\u00a0to prevent contaminants entering the lumen when suction is suspended, such as\u00a0during patient transport.<\/p>\n Clear PVC material with radiopaque marker enables clear visualisation for correct tube positioning whilst enabling breath misting to be seen.<\/p>\n The smooth cuff-to-tube weld, polished tapered tip with murphy eye echoes the quality features of our Blue Line\u00ae range, designed to reduce trauma to the patient\u2019s airway during intubation and extubation.<\/p>\n The tube has a 15mm connector enabling connection to anaesthetic and ventilator breathing circuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tracheal tubes with a suction port above the cuff can assist in reducing the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
