Cuffed Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid tracheostomy tubes

Tracheostomy tubes with suction above the cuff reduce the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia1

Cuffed Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid tracheostomy tubes with subglottic suction line are intended to improve patient well-being by maintaining a clean, hygienic and unobstructed airway through the ability to remove secretions above the cuff.

The low pressure, high volume Soft-Seal cuff is intended to minimise trauma to the trachea and protect the patient’s airway when inflated. This is achieved by maintaining the air delivered from a ventilator to a patient’s lungs preventing aspiration.

The tracheostomy tube provides a clear, anatomically shaped flexible neck flange which aids cleaning and conforms to the patient’s neck aiding in patient comfort. A range of sizes are available; including half sizes to ensure your patient has the ideal tube to ensure comfort and functionality.

The integral suction lumen of Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid makes it easy to remove pooled secretions. This is important as pooled secretions may lead to patient discomfort and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

The tracheostomy tube’s thermosensitive PVC construction provides initial firmness for ease of insertion which then conforms to the patient’s airway at body temperature reducing trauma.

The Blue Line Ultra material is radiopaque which enables clear visualisation for correct tube positioning.

The smooth, arc shaped design with tapered tip is designed to assist placement and removal of both the tracheostomy tube and inner cannula with minimal disruption to the patient’s airway.
