Portex Endotracheal Tube Cuff 6.0 mm 100/150/060
The Portex Cuffed Endotracheal Tube 6.0 mm is a single‑use PVC breathing tube used for airway management in adults. It includes a low‑pressure, high‑volume cuff and a Murphy eye to ensure a safe, sealed airway during mechanical ventilation. The tube’s blue radiopaque line enhances placement visibility under imaging, improving clinical safety.
Manufactured by Smiths Medical, this Portex tube offers clear tubing and visible misting to verify correct placement. The low‑pressure, high‑volume cuff design reduces cuff pressure on the tracheal wall, minimizing tissue trauma . It features a smooth Murphy eye and polished, tapered tip to maintain airway patency even if the main lumen is blocked . The blue radiopaque line that runs the full length of the tube ensures accurate positioning is confirmed via X‑ray.
