ARMFLEX TRACHEOSTOMY CANNULA WITH CUFF

Recommendation of a professional on the use of the technology.

The Armflex Tracheostomy Cannula with cuff is indicated in patients who require mechanical ventilation due to functional, post-traumatic or surgical alterations that affect the patency of this sector of the airway.

Its purpose is:

– enable mechanical ventilation;

– allow endoscopic maneuvers (diagnostic and / or therapeutic in the airway);

– facilitate the humidification of secretions and endotracheal aspiration.

The cuff seals the tracheal lumen, allowing adequate control of gas movement during mechanical ventilation and preventing the passage of fluids and secretions from the upper airway into the bronchial tree.

The wall of the cannula is reinforced with a stainless-steel spiral that provides high resistance to kinking and the collapse of its lumen by extrinsic compression.

The product is offered with:

– (2) inner cannulas so that the patient always has one in use and another clean for their

substitution,

– (1) cough cap, used to prevent tracheo-bronchial secretions from being ejected during

expiration or coughing spells.

– (1) standard connector, which allows the connection of the tracheostomy tube to:

– manual or automatic mechanical ventilation devices (respirators),

– nebulization devices.

– (1) velcro neck band (velour with velcro), made of material whose texture ensures a correct

fixation of the cannula without risk of breaking the plate.

It is supplied with an introduction mandrel to facilitate its application in recently performed tracheostomies.
