A Wellead Medical endotracheal tube (ETT) is a flexible, hollow tube inserted into the trachea to establish an airway and support breathing. It is commonly used in critical care situations, such as surgeries, trauma, or respiratory distress, to provide mechanical ventilation and oxygen support. The endotracheal tube ensures that oxygen and inhaled gases can reach the lungs, while also protecting them from contamination, such as blood or gastric contents.

Key Components of an Endotracheal Tube

An endotracheal tube consists of several essential parts that contribute to its effectiveness. The bevel, a slanted tip, helps guide the tube past the vocal cords during intubation. The Murphy’s eye, located just above the bevel, provides an alternative ventilation route in case of blockage. The cuff, a balloon-like structure, ensures a secure seal within the trachea, minimizing leaks and preventing aspiration. Additionally, the adapter (15mm) at the end of the tube allows for easy connection to external equipment like a ventilator or Ambu bag.
