The hospital division of UNOMEDICAL produces a wide range of consumables for OR, critical care and cardiology. Recently the company has launched an extensive range of endotracheal tubes, among which are two specialist tubes. One is the ET tube with an extended volume low pressure (EVLP) cuff, and the other is the Extra Soft ET tube for paediatric and neonatal use.
The Unomedical ET with EVLP cuff gives improved sealing and aspiration protection because it has a resting diameter of 11⁄2 times of the average trachea. It also possesses a prolonged cuff with safety cylinder for a decreased risk of silent aspiration. The ET with EVLP cuff also has a bullnose tip and soft cuff-to-shaft transition for both atraumatic intubation and extubation. In addition, its thermo-sensitive material gives excellent conformance to patient anatomy. The Extra Soft ET tube for paediatric and neonatal use from Unomedical is made from a pliable compound material which adapts thoroughly to each patients small anatomy. It is very kink-resistant with a superior ID/OD ratio and its extra softness makes it well suited for nasal intubation and for the more fragile paediatric patients.
