Oral endotracheal tube Rüsch® Guardian™

Designed for Long-Term Intubation. During mechanical ventilation, secretions from the upper respiratory tract accumulate above the endotracheal tube cuff. Studies have shown that these secretions can seep past the cuff into the lower tract, which may cause pneumonia.1 The Rüsch® Guardian™ Endotracheal Tube with Evacuation Lumen is designed to facilitate the removal of these pathogen laden subglottic secretions that accumulate above the cuff before they are aspirated. The thinner polyurethane cuff material, when compared to Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cuffs, provides better leak prevention regardless of cuff shape.2-5 Integrated inflation and suction lines Radiopaque identifier Polyurethane cuff Sterile, Single Use Not made with DEHP
