To create a percutaneous dilational tracheostomy using guidewire, single stage dilator and components of this product which allows for tracheal access for airway management.

The new kit is designed to permit percutaneous creation of a tracheostomy stoma and subsequent insertion of a size 7, 8 or 9mm tracheostomy tube. It employs the well understood and established procedure for dilating a stoma and introducing the tracheostomy tube using the Seldinger over a guide wire system. The kit contains all of the standard components to which the user are accustomed: scalpel, needle and cannula, syringe, guidewire, guiding catheter, Gauze pads, short pre-dilator, dilator system, and tracheostomy tube introducers. The kit differs from the above two kits in that it employs a single tapered dilator to replace the multiple serial dilators. The packaging is the same as that used in k022212. It is designed with an outer blister, which contains an inner tray. The tray layout is designed to present the user with the components in the order of use. Each pack is EO sterilised and individually packed in a carton together with the directions for use.

The Portex Reinforced Tracheal Tubes (cuffed and uncuffed) are designed for oral or nasal intubation for airway management during anaesthesia. The product may be used where the patient's neck is likely to be moved or flexed or the patient is in the prone position so that a non-reinforced tracheal tube might become kinked.

Single use. A Tracheal tube with additional metal wire spiral reinforcement to provide kink-resistance. This type of product is typically used during operations where a high degree of flexibility is required from the tube, for instance prone position, head and neck surgery, oral surgery. The plastic material and the spring allow the tube to be easily bent in all directions. The steel reinforcement maintains the patency of the lumen. The Portex Ltd PVC, Single-use Reinforced tracheal tube is available in cuffed and uncuffed variants. The cuff is intended to provide a seal against the trachea, ensuring that inspiratory and expiratory gases are directed through the tube and not allowed to escape to the patients upper airway, thus preventing loss of ventilation / anaesthetic and nebulised drugs, and reducing the likelihood of any aspirated stomach contents from entering the lungs. Uncuffed tubes are used mainly for paediatric applications who require less protection from loss of ventilation / anaesthetic and nebulised drugs and or stomach aspiration. The reinforced tracheal tube (Cuffed Murphy eye) is available in sizes 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and 9.5mm only. The reinforced tracheal tube (Uncuffed) is available in sizes 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0mm only.

Embryo Replacement Catheters are sterile, single-use devices for ultrasound guided introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in vitro fertilisation. Trial Transfer Catheters are sterile, single-use devices for determining whether the cervix is passable for a Wallace embryo replacement catheter

Embryo Replacement Catheters: The Embryo Replacement Catheters (for use in ultrasound-guided transfers) are single use devices for the introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in-vitro fertilisation. The devices have overall lengths; 18cm (CE 118A) and 23cm (CE 123A) and consist of a soft, flexible inner cannula, with end opening, and a detachable outer sheath that is attached to the inner catheter by a Luer taper. The inner catheter is of dimensions 1.5mm (OD) x 0.76 mm(ID) with a lumen that is uniform throughout its length, with a series of 1cm graduations at the proximal end. The inner catheter protrudes from the outer sheath by 5cm and the outer sheath has a series of 1cm graduations at the distal end. Trial Transfer Catheters: The Trial Transfer Catheters (for use in ultrasound-guided transfers) are single use devices used to assess the passage through the cervix prior to embryo transfer. The devices have overall lengths; 18cm (CE 418A) and 23cm(CE 423A) and consist of a flexible inner cannula, with blind end, and a detachable outer sheath that is attached to the inner catheter by a Luer taper. The inner catheter is of dimensions 1.5mm (OD) x 0.76 mm(ID) with a series of graduations at the proximal end. The inner catheter protrudes from the outer sheath by 5cm and the outer sheath has a series of 1cm graduations at the distal end.

The Thermovent HEPA HME breathing system filter provides bacterial and viral filtration protecting the patient and the breathing circuit or ventilator. It also provides passive heat and humidification to the patient.

The Thermovent HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) HME (Heat and Moisture Exchange) breathing system filter is a single use bacterial and viral filter with 'HEPA' grade filtration properties. The filter is intended for use with ventilators, anaesthesia breathing circuits, positive breathing systems and passive spontaneous breathing intubated patients. The Thermovent HEPA is a hydrophobic filter, which acts as an effective barrier to both air and liquid borne contaminates. The filter media repels liquid and therefore prevents any liquid moving from the patient side of the device through to the ventilator circuit. To maximise the filtration surface area, the filter media is pleated before assembly into the filter housing. The Thermovent HEPA also acts as a passive, hydrophobic humidifier. The expired gasses from the patient condense on the surface of the media, while releasing latent heat and warming the filter element. On inspiration, the airflow is warmed by the filter element, while the liquefied water is vaporised, thus allowing humidified air to be returned to the patient. The Thermovent HEPA has a Luer port on the machine side of the housing to allow monitoring of the patients gasses, after filtration. The filter housing also features a peg where the user can park the gas sampling port is in use. The devices are packed individually in flexible thermoformed pouch type unit packs.

The Portex Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid Tracheostomy Tube is indicated for airway maintenance of tracheostomised patients. Suctionaid allows aspiration of mucous and subglottic secretions that collect and build up between the tracheostomy tube cuff and the glottis.

The Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid (BLUS) tracheostomy tube provides an airway to the patients lungs when the upper airway / larynx / pharynx or oral & nasal routes are occluded or compromised due to traumatic injury, illness, or during surgery, and is elective for long term ventilated patients. The tube can be used for ventilated, or spontaneously breathing patients. The BLUS is available in sizes 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0mm only. BLUS is cuffed. The cuff provides a seal against the trachea, ensuring that inspiratory and expiratory gasses are routed through the tube and not allowed to escape to the patients upper airway, thus preventing loss of ventilation / anaesthetic and nebulised drugs, and reducing the likelihood of any aspirated stomach contents from entering the lungs. BLUS has a clear suction line terminating with a suction orifice above the cuff which allows any pooled secretions to be aspirated. The suction line terminates with a connector for suction devices and a Luer port to connect to either a syringe or a vacuum control valve which is included in the pack. The outer tube can be used with or without an inner cannula lines the bore of the outer tube, and can be removed, cleaned and replaced to ensure that the bore of the tube is kept patent. The BLUS is supplied pre-loaded onto an obturator. The obturator reduces the risk of the distal end of the product from damaging the trachea upon insertion. The obturator has an internal pathway for a guide wire, so that a guide wire can be used to help position the stoma site for tube change insertion. The BLUS tracheostomy tube is packed in several kit variants to suit clinician preferences. Each kit contains a tracheostomy tube holder, an inner cannula, Tracheostomy tube disconnection wedge, cleaning brush and a patient notes label. The change kit includes a tube change J tip guide wire. This wire is used to help place a second tracheostomy tube in a pre-existing stoma when the first tube needs to be changed. Each kit is individually packed in a blister and shelf carton (tracheostomy tube holder and cleaning bush packed outside of the blister in a polyethylene bag), and the products are sterile by ETO. Replacement Blue Line Ultra inner cannula are available in packs of 20 or 50. The cannula are individually packed in a blister to maintain sterility, and contained within a shelf carton. The inner cannula lines the bore of the outer tube, and can be removed, cleaned and replaced to ensure that the bore of the tube is kept patent.
