Cuffed Tracheostomy Tube Portex BLUselect Size 6.0 mm Adult

This cuffed tracheostomy tube is an adult Portex BLUselect tube in size 6.0 mm. It fits clinical airway management workflows where buyers need a sterile, single-patient-use tube with a built-in 15 mm ISO connector for ventilation circuit connection. Thermosensitive PVC helps with insertion rigidity before softening at body temperature, and the tube is radio-opaque for x-ray position confirmation.
