Intubation
Aintree Intubation Catheter with Rapi-Fit® Adapters
Used for assisted fibreoptic intubation and for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Features and benefits
• The catheter’s inner diameter (ID), lumen, and distal sideports are designed to enhance airflow.
• The large ID permits the use of a bronchoscope, which enhances visualisation.
• The removable Rapi-Fit adapters permit oxygen delivery, if necessary.

Cook® Retrograde Intubation Set
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.
Features and benefits
• Uses the Seldinger technique via the cricothyroid membrane for initial access permits retrograde (cephalad) placement of a wire guide that exits orally or nasally.
• The catheter’s tapered tip allows smoother navigation through the patient’s anatomy.

Frova Intubating Introducer
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.
Features and benefits
• The blunt, angled tip can be passed blindly into the trachea when visualisation of the glottis is inadequate to guide the placement of the endotracheal tube.
• The optional stiffening cannula adds rigidity to the proximal and middle sections of the catheter, but the distal portion remains flexible.

Extubation
Cook Staged Extubation Set
Used for staged extubation and subsequent reintubation.
Features and benefits
• The soft, tapered, and kink-resistant wire is coated in a polymeric jacket to assure minimal irritation while in position.
• The staged reintubation catheter allows quick access and oxygen delivery to help stabilise the patient.

Airway Exchange
Arndt Airway Exchange Catheter Set with Rapi-Fit Adapters
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.
Features and benefits
• The use of a bronchoscope enhances visualisation to facilitate clearer navigation through the patient’s anatomy.
• The wire guide can be inserted through the working channel of the bronchoscope, which allows acute angles to be manoeuvred.

Cook Airway Exchange Catheter with Rapi-Fit Adapters
Used for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Features and benefits
• The blunt tip of the catheter is designed to be atraumatic to internal structures.
• The lumen and distal sideports are designed to deliver oxygen.
• The centimetre markings facilitate accurate alignment with endotracheal tubes.

Cook Airway Exchange Catheter – Double Lumen Extra Firm Soft Tipped
Used for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.
Features and benefits
• The blunt, soft, and flexible tip of the catheter is designed to be atraumatic to internal structures. The distal section of the catheter is flexible.
• The extra-firm catheter facilitates the exchange of double-lumen shaft tubes.

Emergency Airway
Arndt Emergency Cricothyrotomy Catheter Set
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.
Features and benefits
• Airway access is achieved by using the Seldinger technique via the cricothyroid membrane.
• The subsequent dilation of the tract and tracheal entrance site permits the passage of the emergency airway.

Emergency Transtracheal Airway Catheter
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Features and benefits
• The catheter is made of reinforced coils to prevent kinking.

Enk Oxygen Flow Modulator Set
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.
Features and benefits
• The set provides clinicians with a compact solution for quickly establishing an airway and using jet ventilation to stabilise a patient in an emergent situation.
• The wire-reinforced catheter is designed to resist kinking and to prevent the airway device from collapsing after it is placed.

Melker Emergency Cricothyrotomy Catheter Set – Cuffed
Used to establish emergency airway access when endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Features and benefits
• Airway access is achieved by using the Seldinger technique or the surgical technique via the cricothyroid membrane.
• The airway catheter is cuffed to protect and control the airway after it is placed.

Melker Emergency Cricothyrotomy Catheter Set – Uncuffed
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.
Features and benefits
• Airway access is achieved by using the Seldinger technique via the cricothyroid membrane.
• The uncuffed airway catheter comes in a variety of sizes.

Patil Emergency Cricothyrotomy Catheter Set
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation cannot be performed.
Features and benefits
• Airway access is achieved by using direct percutaneous puncture via the cricothyroid membrane.
• The catheter is kink-resistant, is made of reinforced coils, and has a standard 15 mm connector and Luer lock connecter to allow oxygen delivery.
