Overview

Seals out doubt

SealGuard™ Basic and SealGuard™ Evac endotracheal tubes offers the same patented TaperGuard™ cuff technology, with an integrated cuff inflation line and integrated suction lumen. The SealGuard™ Evac endotracheal tube features an ultra-thin polyurethane cuff that permits lower cuff pressures to maintain proper tracheal seal.1 It also features a smooth Murphy eye for easy insertion and is suitable for both nasal and oral insertion.

The SealGuard™ Evac tracheal tube has been proven to reduce microaspirations and thus reduce the incidence of VAP.1,2,3,4,5 The tapered shape of the cuff and the polyurethane material used to make the cuff, enables this tube to fit snuggly within the tracheal walls.

Features

  • Tapered cuff design made from polyurethane material reduces the incidence of folds and channels through which secretions can leak1
  • Provides a better fluid seal at a 20% lower intra-cuff pressure compared to the Shiley™ Hi-Lo tracheal tube1
  • Designed for long-term ventilation management
  • Reduces microaspiration by at least 95% compared to the Shiley™ Hi-Lo tracheal tube cuff 1,2
  • Reduces ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)4
