Medtronic Specialty Endotracheal Airways Products feature the Nasal RAE Tracheal Tube, designed to enable clear access during surgeries and procedures involving the nasal and oral cavities. These tubes, available in sizes ranging from 6.0mm to 8.0mm, provide a solution for maintaining ventilation while ensuring a clear surgical field.

The Taperguard cuffed design offers an optimal seal with minimal pressure, reducing the chance of injury while ensuring patient safety during and post-procedure. Made for advanced airway management, these tubes are pivotal for surgeries that could involve complicated access due to patient positioning or surgical area.

Key Features:

• The Nasal RAE Tracheal Tube features a preformed curve that directs tubing away from the surgical site, providing unobstructed access during facial surgeries.
• Equipped with a low-pressure cuff that minimizes risk of airway trauma and ensures effective ventilation by sealing the trachea gently.

Uses:

• Medtronic Nasal RAE Tracheal Tubes are used for airway management in surgeries where oral access is limited or obstructed. These tubes facilitate effective ventilation in anesthetized patients undergoing nose or throat surgical procedures.
• These tubes are particularly useful in ENT surgeries for minimizing airway interference, allowing for surgical procedures on the face and mouth without obstruction from traditional oral endotracheal tubes.
