It is a soft, flexible plastic tube that passes through the nose or mouth into the trachea (windpipe). Its function is to keep an airway open for the passage of air or anesthetic gases, establishing and maintaining a patent airway.
“Plain” or “uncuffed” refers to that which does not possess the inflatable cuff. In a cuffed tube, the cuff is inflated to seal the airway, which in turn prevents air leaks and aspiration. However, an ET tube uncuffed depends on properly sized tubing and a proper anatomical fit to seal. This makes it more appropriate for patients with troublesome or narrow airways, especially infants and children. At GST Corporation, we prioritize quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, ensuring our Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed meets international standards for performance and hygiene.
