Thomas Select Endotracheal Tube Holder, Adult
Endotracheal Tube Holder Highlights:
- Secures an endotracheal tube, an LMA, or a wider SGA after the airway is in place, to reduce the chance of accidental extubation.1
- Fits tracheal tubes 6.5 mm inner diameter and larger, and airway tubes out to 42 mm outer diameter. Supraglottic sizes 3 through 6.2
- A push-screw clamp sets the tube quickly. The screw then finishes the hold. The large opening leaves the mouth and lip color in view, and leaves room to suction.2
- Padded hook-and-loop head strap. The bite block is built so the patient does not bite the tube shut. Not for children under 8 years old.1, 2
- Single patient use, no more than 24 hours. Do not disinfect or resterilize. Not made with natural rubber latex. Not sterile.1
