Mallinckrodt Oral/Nasal Airway Taperguard ETT Cuffed
The Low-Impact, Low-Pressure Endotracheal Tube
Endotracheal tubes with TaperGuard cuff technology have features that may help reduce the tracheal impact of intubation with a unique, taper-shaped cuff design that provides a smaller area of contact with the patients airway than traditional barrel-shaped cuffs.
TAPERED-CUFF ADVANTAGES Unique TaperGuard cuff design: Reduces the area of tracheal impact by 50% or more versus cylindrical PVC cuffs Reduces intracuff pressure required to obtain an adequate seal compared to Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo cuffs Provides more uniform pressure distribution than Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo cuffs at equivalent intracuff pressures Reduces microaspiration by as much as 90% compared to Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo cuffs
