Health Benifits

A hollow cylinder inserted orally or nasally into the trachea to provide an unobstructed airway to convey gases and vapours to and from the lungs during anaesthesia, resuscitation, and other situations where the patient is not properly ventilated.

The device may: 1) be packaged with a connector that will attach to a breathing circuit or manual resuscitator; 2) have a distal inflatable cuff to seal against the tracheal wall; 3) be radiopaque; and 4) have a built-in pilot balloon for cuff pressure monitoring. It is typically made of plastic or rubber and is available in various diameters and lengths for adult and paediatric patients. This is a single-use device.

A spike-like, orthopaedic, surgical instrument that is used to bore holes in bone. It is typically designed as a straight or slightly curve rod-like instrument with a sharp, trocar-like point at the distal end and a T-shaped handle at the proximal end. It is manually operated by the surgeon who rotates the point back and forth on the bone whilst exerting pressure onto the handle.

This operation will penetrate the hard outer bone and create a passage into, e.g., a medullary canal. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel, titanium and a synthetic material for the handle (e.g., Tufnol). This is a reusable device.

A collection of devices designed to conduct medical gases from the fresh gas supply outlet of an anaesthesia unit/workstation to the patient, typically connecting the patient, a ventilator/ventilation bag, carbon dioxide (CO2) absorber, and a monitor.

It typically includes both an inhalation and exhalation route and consists of breathing tubes, a ventilation and/or reservoir bag(s), a Y-piece, connectors/adaptors, and gas sampling ports. The absorber, a one-way directional valve, and adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve are also devices typically employed in the circuit but may not be a part of this device.
