Covidien Shiley 86550 Reinforced Cuffed Oral/Nasal 7.0mm Endotracheal Tube – Box of 5

Shiley Reinforced Endotracheal Tube | Model 86550 | 7.0mm Internal Diameter | Cuffed Oral and Nasal Airway Management | Spiral-Wound Kink-Resistant Technology | Box of 5

The Shiley 86550 is a professional-grade reinforced endotracheal tube engineered to secure and maintain airway patency during complex surgical procedures where patient positioning creates high mechanical stress. Featuring an integrated spiral-wound reinforcing wire embedded within a soft polyvinyl chloride matrix, this cuffed tube prevents kinking and occlusion when the patient's head is highly flexed, extended, or rotated. It is commonly deployed in neurosurgical, prone-position, and head or neck interventions, utilizing an inflation cuff to establish a positive tracheal seal that guards against aspiration while supporting continuous mechanical ventilation.
