KIMVENT* MICROCUFF* Adult and Pediatric Endotracheal Tubes

Revolutionary Cuff Technology: Proven to reduce leakage and the risk of tracheal trauma

Overview Products Resources Continuing Education
 

KIMVENT* MICROCUFF* Adult Endotracheal Tubes feature an advanced micro-thin polyurethane cuff, virtually eliminating the formation of channels typically found in PVC cuffs. This provides a superior tracheal seal proven to reduce leakage of potentially infectious secretions.1

 

KIMVENT* MICROCUFF* Pediatric Endotracheal Tubes, designed specifically for the pediatric anatomy, offer the advantages of a cuffed tube, while reducing re-intubation rates and tracheal trauma.2
