The EZ-Blocker is indicated for use to intubate the patient's bronchi in order to differentially isolate the left or right lung for procedures which require one-lung ventilation, lung separation. Patient population: Patients requiring one lung isolation. Environment of use: Hospitals - OR and ICU.

The EZ-Blocker is a double lumen endobronchial tube made of polymer materials and inks. The distal part of the tube ends in a "y" shape with distal extensions for each branch of the lung. The extensions are symmetrical and colored differently (blue and yellow) for identification purposes. The device is supplied with an adapter for connection to a ventilator device. The symmetrical design facilitates introduction and positioning of the device in both main stem bronchi. When properly positioned, the cuff in the main stem branches of the non-ventilated lung can be inflated and lung isolation is achieved.
