The Merlyn EndoTube 420050 is a preformed, anatomically curved (Magill‑curve) oral endotracheal tube intended for airway management in anesthesia, ventilation, or critical care. With an inner diameter of 5.0 mm, it is suited for smaller adult patients, adolescents, or pediatric cases (depending on clinician judgment and airway anatomy). The preformed curve helps guide the tube along the natural airway path, easing insertion and alignment, especially in oral intubation procedures.

At the distal end, the tube has a smooth Murphy tip and a Murphy eye—a secondary lateral opening—designed to maintain gas flow even if the primary tip becomes obstructed. The inclusion of a radiopaque line along the length of the tube allows clinicians to verify placement via imaging (e.g. X‑ray) without ambiguity. The high volume / low pressure cuff is engineered to provide an effective tracheal seal while minimizing focal pressure on the delicate mucosal lining, which is especially important during prolonged intubations.

In practice, the Merlyn EndoTube is packaged sterile and is latex‑free, which reduces risk of allergic reaction in sensitive patients. The fact that each tube’s cuff and pilot balloon system is individually leak tested prior to packaging increases reliability in the field. Its standard 15 mm connector ensures compatibility with common ventilator circuits and airway devices. Overall, the 420050 offers a balance of reliability, anatomical design, and safety features for effective airway management in situations requiring a 5.0 mm internal diameter cuffed tube.
