The LMA™ ET Tube (ETT) has been developed specifically for use with the LMA Fastrach™. It is a straight, wire-reinforced, silicone, cuffed endotracheal tube capable of being passed entirely through the LMA Fastrach™.
The ETT has a unique molded tip for atraumatic passage through the vocal cords. The tip has been shown to increase ease of passage through the glottis during fiberoptic intubation compared to standard ETT bevels. The size of the pilot balloon and placement of the inflation line facilitate passage through the LMA Fastrach™. The ETT is reusable up to 10 times.
LMA™ ET Tube available in 5 sizes: 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0 mm
Connector is a standard 15 mm and can be removed. Once you have ensured that the patient is well-oxygenated after intubation, you can remove the LMA™ ET Tube connector, leaving its proximal end firmly attached to the anesthesia circuit to prevent accidental misplacement and facilitate reconnection.
The straight, wire-reinforced tube has depth marks (in centimeters) to use as a reference during intubation, indicating the distance to the distal tip. The tube has an internal diameter of 8.0 mm, and is capable of being passed with the pilot balloon and valve through the LMA Fastrach™
The LMA™ ET Tube has a unique molded tip for atraumatic passage through the vocal cords. The tip has been shown to increase ease of passage through the glottis for fiberoptic intubation compared to standard ETT bevels. The tip is made out of a radio opaque material so its location can be determined on patient x-rays.
The Cuff of the LMA™ ET Tube is characterized as being low volume, high pressure. At “just seal” or “minimal occlusion volumes”, mucosal pressures should remain within safe limits.
