TaperGuard Evac Cuffed Endotracheal Tube, 9.0 mm, Adult

Product Description:
The TaperGuard Evac Endotracheal Tube by Medtronic MITG is designed to reduce the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) while ensuring a secure and effective airway. Featuring an integrated subglottic suction lumen, this tube allows for continuous or intermittent removal of secretions above the cuff, helping to lower the risk of aspiration-related complications.

Its unique TaperGuard cuff is designed with a low-pressure, tapered profile that conforms better to the tracheal wall, significantly reducing microaspiration—up to 90% compared to traditional Hi-Lo cuffs. The curved shape supports oral intubation, and the Murphy eye tip enhances safety and airflow in the event of distal occlusion.

This sterile, single-use endotracheal tube is made of clear plastic for easy visual inspection, with a 9.0 mm internal diameter and 13.1 mm outer diameter, suited for adult patients in surgical or critical care settings.

Key Features:

• Integrated Suction Lumen: Provides continuous drainage of secretions to help prevent VAP

• TaperGuard Cuff: Reduces microaspiration by up to 90% vs. standard Hi-Lo cuffs
