Buy tracheotomy tubes in Ukraine

Tracheotomy tubes are necessary for a patient who has undergone surgery with selective or complete removal of the larynx. Also, patients who need artificial ventilation of the lungs need a tracheotomy tube. Tracheotomy tubes are divided into two main types: single type and double. The second type, as a rule, is more convenient: they have two tubes, which in turn are divided into external and internal. The inner cannula is easy to remove and change. For example, you can fix the connector with various additional tools. The inner tube is a good helper during transportation, because you can easily change a clogged part for another. At home, a used tracheotomy tube can be soaked and another one temporarily used. There are also disadvantages of this type of tube - the hole narrows due to the thickness of the wall.

If there is an obstruction of the airways (chronic or acute), a person, as a rule, undergoes a surgical intervention - a tracheotomy. During this operation, the wall of the trachea is cut and a so-called stoma is created. Next, a special tube is inserted into the stoma, with the help of which air flows freely into the lungs. A tracheotomy hose is also connected to a ventilator. The very first medical tubes were invented many centuries ago: they were created from a hollow reed. Today, the tool has seriously changed, due to modern elastic materials.

The tracheotomy tube is made of high quality silicone material that smoothly bends along its entire length. The soft and smooth surface of the instrument serves to avoid injury to human tissues. Many medical tubes are created double: in the main tube there is an additional one with a smaller diameter, called a cannula. The smaller tube can always be removed for disinfection if excess sputum has collected. Double tubes are much more convenient and hygienic, and care for the instrument is easy. Dual designs are useful during patient transport when it is difficult to clean the device: you can keep a spare pair of cannulas. Narrow cannula diameters generally do not reduce airflow if the main tube is properly fitted.

Types of tracheotomy tubes:

  • tracheotomy tubes with and without cuff;
  • detail with 2 cuffs;
  • tubes reinforced and with a change of cannula.

There are additional kits on the market that include: a spare tracheotomy tube, a replaceable inner cannula, a neck tape and a special cannula brush.

Where are tracheotomy tubes used?

Tracheotomy tubes are made from a variety of materials. Not so long ago, plastic and metal tubes of increased rigidity were used in medicine, but they injured the mucous membrane, which caused bedsores. It is now possible to purchase a silicone tracheotomy tube or soft plastic. These materials are flexible and safe. Modern models soften due to the temperature of the human body and harden in the open air so that it is convenient to fix it. The only drawback is the impossibility of sterilization and reusable use, so the model needs to be changed over time. Sometimes, there are silver-coated pipes on the market. The advantage of such spraying is antibacterial properties, and the disadvantage is that silver is hard and traumatic.

A cuffless tracheotomy tube is applicable as a regular cannula (if artificial ventilation is not needed). Such tubes exclude the occurrence of injuries and allergies that may occur due to prolonged wear. The cuff tube has a special air bag (cuff), which is inflated after fixation. The tracheotomy tube is mainly applicable immediately after surgery as a temporary instrument and makes it possible to connect a person to a ventilator.

Characteristics of tracheotomy tubes:

  • Each tube is made of soft thermoplastic with a smooth surface that adapts to the anatomical shape of the airway;
  • A special cuff gives additional ability to fix the device in the trachea;
  • The inflation level of the cuff is determined by the presence of a pilot balloon;
  • The rounded end of the tube acts as a protection against soft tissue damage, which is safe for the patient;
  • Tracheotomy tubes  come with a standard connector (15 mm). They are conveniently fixed with bandages, which significantly saves the time of the medical staff.

Prices for tracheotomy tubes

There are many types of models. There are novelties that fully provide efficiency and comfort for the patient. The tubes do not impair the quality of life and even allow the patient to talk. Accu tubeit is repeatedly introduced into the trachea just below the level of the vocal cords, and if the cuff blocks the lumen, the air flow does not enter the ligaments. For such manipulation, there are special valves that are put on the tube. The working process is as follows: the valve opens with inhalation, closes with exhalation, and the air flow goes to the vocal cords through the holes. This is called a fenestrated tube. For special procedures, a reinforced type tube is suitable when there are special anatomical reasons. The thinness of the threads in such a tube does not allow the structure to bend.

When buying tracheotomy tubes, be sure to look at the diameter. They are different and are selected individually for each patient. Often, instruments with an inflating cuff are used, which allows air to enter the lungs normally.
