8mm I.D, 11.7/13.5mm O.D. Adult Size Cuffed, The TCB Univent allows easily collapsing one lung for thoracoscopic procedures.
Endotracheal intubation can be performed in the conventional manner, just like a single lumen endotracheal tube
One-lung ventilation can be achieved by placement of the blocker to either the left or right lung, or to lung segments
Insufflation and CPAP can be achieved through the lumen of the blocker shaft
Blocked lung can be collapsed by aspirating air through the lumen of the blocker shaft
The blocker can be retracted into its pocket to facilitate post-operative ventilation
Improved "torque control" bronchial blocker:
- Easier to direct by twisting than previous nylon catheter
- High torque control malleable shaft for smooth intubation
- Flexible blocker shaft with softer open lumen tip
- Latex-free
