The BLUselect Tracheostomy Tube 101/870/080 is a medical-grade adult tracheostomy tube kit designed to help maintain a secure airway in patients who require long-term or short-term breathing support through a tracheostomy opening in the neck.

It is part of the ICU Medical / BLUselect™ airway management range, known for its focus on patient comfort, safety, and reliable ventilation support.

🩺 Product Overview

The code 101/870/080 refers to:

• Size: 8.0 mm internal diameter (adult use)
• Type: Cuffed tracheostomy tube
• Design: Suctionaid® system with soft-seal cuff
• Use: Airway management for ventilated or breathing-compromised patients

This model is commonly used in hospitals, ICU settings, and long-term respiratory care.

✨ Key Features

• 🫁 Soft-Seal cuff (low-pressure, high-volume)
  Helps create an effective airway seal while reducing tracheal pressure and trauma
• 💨 Suctionaid® system
  Allows removal of secretions above the cuff to help maintain a clearer airway and reduce aspiration risk
• 🧠 Thermosensitive PVC material
  Firm during insertion, then softens at body temperature to better adapt to airway anatomy
• 🔒 Built-in 15 mm connector
  Compatible with standard ventilation circuits
• 🛡️ Radiopaque tube
  Can be seen on X-ray for placement confirmation
• 🧩 Obturator included
  Helps guide safe insertion and reduce trauma
• ♻️ DEHP-free medical-grade PVC
  Designed for improved biocompatibility

🧠 How It Works

1. The tube is inserted into the tracheostomy opening using an obturator for guidance
2. The cuff is inflated to secure the airway and prevent air leakage or aspiration
3. The Suctionaid channel helps remove secretions above the cuff
4. The tube connects to a ventilator or breathing support system if required

🧭 Clinical Uses

• Long-term or short-term airway support
• Patients requiring mechanical ventilation
• Post-tracheostomy care in ICU or hospital
• Airway protection in patients with swallowing difficulties
• Secretion management in respiratory conditions
