The Duracuff® UNI VARIO SUCTION tracheostomy tube with suction device is a tracheostomy tube, which offers the option of suctioning secretions collected above the cuff from the trachea, through a separate tube, if required. For this purpose, the outer cannula contains a fine tube with suction funnel which can, for example, be connected to an external suction device. The suction line is incorporated into the outer cannula in such a way that it does not stand out and therefore does not lead to additional irritation of the tracheal wall. The Duracuff® UNI VARIO SUCTION is supplied, as standard with two inner cannulas with a 15 mm connector, where one of the two adapters is a swivel adapter.
Suction can be carried out using a suction line with vacuum regulator, or the attached disposable syringe. Suction accessories can be adapted safely using the suction line or Luer connection.
The scope of delivery also includes the Duracuff® Clip adapter, for locking the inner cannula, with a 15 mm swivel connector for mechanical ventilation, as well as an obturator (insertion aid) and a tube holding strap.
