What is a Tracheostomy Tube?
A Tracheostomy Tube is a medical device that is inserted into an opening in the neck to provide an alternative airway for breathing. This device bypasses the upper airway and delivers oxygen to the trachea and lungs. It is used for patients having difficulty breathing, often due to a compromised upper airway.
Disposable tracheostomy tubes are made of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and can be produced as cuffed or uncuffed. They are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate patients ranging from infancy to adulthood.
AdvaCare Pharma is a reputable global supplier of Tracheostomy Tubes, and we are committed to providing top-quality products to distributors and medical professionals worldwide. We prioritize the production of reliable and cost-effective medical disposables that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Product Specifications
Type
Cuff
Single Cannula
Single cannula tracheostomy tube features a single, integrated cannula. This straightforward design is easier to use, which is ideal for critical care facilities or emergency medicine. It should be noted that this design is ideal for temporary use or patients with less secretions, as the entire tube must be replaced or cleaned to prevent blockage or build-up.
Disposable Inner Cannula
Disposable Inner Cannula tracheostomy tube features an outer tube with a removable inner cannula. This inner cannula acts as a liner to prevent the build-up of mucus. It can be easily replaced with a new sterile one, which helps to maintain a cleaner airway and reduce the risk of infection.
High Volume Low-Pressure Cuff
High Volume Low-Pressure Cuff is made of a thermosensitive material that is latex-free. The soft cuff is designed to dynamically adjust the pressure at the point of contact during the breathing cycle, which helps ensure a patient's comfort and reduces the risk of complications.
The cuffed tube is equipped with a pilot balloon featuring a non-return valve, which facilitates easy inflation and deflation of the cuff. When the pilot balloon is inflated, this indicates that the cuff is inflated.
The high volume low-pressure cuff tracheostomy tube is sterile and intended for single use.
Uncuffed
Uncuffed tracheostomy tube allows for airway clearance and ventilation but does not provide protection against aspiration. This type of tube is used for patients whose ability to cough and clear secretions is adequate or when the risk of aspiration is low. It is important to note that this type of cuffless tracheostomy tube may not be appropriate for patients who require mechanical ventilation.

FAQs
Is a cuffed or uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube recommended?
The high-volume low-pressure cuff may be suitable for situations requiring positive-pressure ventilation or when aspiration prevention is crucial. An uncuffed tracheostomy tube may be preferable when the patient can effectively manage their airway and has minimal risk of aspiration.
Which size of Tracheostomy Tube should be used?
Tracheostomy tubes are available in a wide range of sizes. The selection should be based on professional assessment, which includes factors like the patient's specific needs, airway requirements, and any anatomical or medical considerations.
What are the potential complications associated with Tracheostomy Tubes?
Complications can include infection, bleeding, tube blockage, accidental decannulation, granulation tissue formation, and damage to surrounding structures. Regular monitoring, proper hygiene, and prompt medical attention can help prevent or manage these complications.
