Used for assisted fibreoptic intubation and for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Used to assist in the placement of an endotracheal tube during difficult or emergency airway access procedures where visualisation of the vocal cords is not possible secondary to secretions, blood, and/or anatomic anomalies.
Used to facilitate endotracheal intubation in patients where the visualisation of the glottis is inadequate. The product has been designed for use by physicians trained and experienced in airway management techniques. Standard techniques for placement of intubation catheters should be employed.
Used for staged extubation and subsequent reintubation.
Used for the exchange of laryngeal mask airways and endotracheal tubes using a fibreoptic bronchoscope, bronchoscopic port, wire guide, and exchange catheter. The product may be used for emergency, urgent, and elective airway management. The removable Rapi-Fit Adapter permits use of ventilator device, if necessary, during exchange procedure.
Used for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Used for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Used for emergency airway access when endotracheal intubation and/or ventilation cannot be performed. Airway access is achieved utilising percutaneous entry (Seldinger) technique via the cricothyroid membrane. Subsequent dilation of the tract and tracheal entrance site permits passage of the emergency airway catheter.
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation cannot be performed. The Enk Oxygen Flow Modulator allows manually controlled oxygen flow and is intended for emergency transtracheal catheter ventilation when conventional ventilation by mask or endotracheal tube cannot be performed.
Used to establish emergency airway access when endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Used to establish emergency airway access when endotracheal intubation cannot be performed. Airway access is achieved using percutaneous entry (Seldinger) technique via the cricothyroid membrane. Subsequent dilation of the tract and tracheal entrance site permits passage of the emergency airway catheter.
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Used for catheter connections. The adapter is a male Luer lock to universal taper.
Intended for use with a Cook Airway Exchange Catheter (CAE Catheter). The French size indicated in the order number refers to the French size of the CAE Catheter.
The EchoTip ProCore needle is used with the Olympus® ultrasound endoscope for fine needle biopsy of submucosal and extramural lesions within or adjacent to the tracheobronchial tree or gastrointestinal tract.
The EchoTip Ultra needle is used with the Olympus ultrasound endoscope for fine needle aspiration of submucosal and extramural lesions within or adjacent to the tracheobronchial tree or gastrointestinal tract.
Intended to differentially intubate a patient’s bronchus in order to isolate the left or right lung for procedures that require one-lung ventilation. The product is intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in the use of fibreoptic bronchoscopes and airway anatomy. Standard techniques for use of fibreoptic bronchoscopes and endobronchial blockers should be employed.
