Description
The Smiths Medical Portex Flex D.I.C. Tracheostomy Tube (504070) is an uncuffed, size 7 mm tube designed to maintain a stable, patent airway in patients requiring long-term or post-surgical tracheostomy management. The flexible, siliconised PVC shaft conforms gently to the anatomy of the trachea, reducing the mechanical trauma associated with rigid tubes. A disposable colour-coded inner cannula (green) snaps securely into place and can be replaced without disturbing the outer tube, simplifying hygiene maintenance. The included snap-in obturator facilitates safe, guided insertion, while the 15 mm ISO connector ensures compatibility with standard ventilator circuits and resuscitation equipment.
