Brief Introduction:
An endobronchial tube is a double-lumen tube inserted into the bronchus of one lung to deflate the other lung for anesthesia or thoracic surgery.
Double-lumen tubes all have cuffed endobronchial portions and tracheal cuffs. The endobronchial parts are
curved to the left or right. They are passed blindly and their position should be confirmed bronchoscopically.
The main disadvantage of right sided tubes concerns the short length of the right main bronchus before giving
off the upper lobe bronchus (risk of occlusion). Thus, left-sided tubes are usually preferred, even for right-sided surgery, because of the risk of inadequate ventilation of the right upper lobe if incorrectly positioned.

Principle:
Supply oxygen through tube.The low-pressure air bag and the bronchial cuff are designed in such a way to reduce the
mucosa damage to the minimum. The far end tube cavity of the bronchial cuff and the guiding air bag is homochromatic
indication. The color cuff helps to determine the position of the far end. In the storage, one hollow needle is inserted to
preserve the shape. The disposable sterile kit can avoid cross infection and, the sputum suction tube with different
graduation helps to judge the depth of insertion in tubes when sucking the sputum.
Intended use:
It is applicable for thorax and CVD operations, and for ventilation simultaneously or not simultaneously of serious
patients in the single lung situation.
Features:
v Three styles of bronchial cuffs are available.
v Two styles of connectors,fixed and non-fixed.
v Low-pressure cuffs can help to reduce the lesion of mucosa.
v Available also in a set together with connector and three pieces of suction catheters.
