Description:

"The 038961040U Endo Tube Murphy 4.0mm Oral/Nasal Uncuffed is a carefully designed airway device intended for pediatric patients who need reliable airway access through oral or nasal intubation. This uncuffed endotracheal tube is frequently utilized in anesthesia, surgical procedures, and emergency situations where reduced pressure on the tracheal wall is desired—particularly in smaller or more sensitive airways.

With a 4.0mm internal diameter, this tube allows adequate airflow for ventilation while decreasing resistance, making it suitable for neonates, infants, and small children. Its uncuffed design permits natural expansion of the trachea and helps to reduce mucosal pressure, consequently lowering the chances of pressure-related injuries during short to moderate intubation durations.

A notable characteristic of this Murphy-type tube is the Murphy eye—a secondary lateral opening located near the smoothly beveled distal tip. This functions as a safety feature by enabling gas exchange even if the primary tip gets obstructed due to secretions or tissue, thereby enhancing airway security. The beveled tip of the tube is smooth and rounded to facilitate gentle insertion and reduce irritation to the vocal cords and trachea.

Manufactured from transparent medical-grade PVC, the tube is both strong and flexible, resisting kinking during patient movement while maintaining its structure and keeping the airway open. The clear design allows healthcare professionals to visually monitor condensation and secretions, ensuring correct placement and airway management.

Graduated depth markings along the tube aid in accurate positioning and confirmation during insertion, while the standard 15mm universal connector ensures easy compatibility with all major ventilators, anesthesia equipment, and bag-valve-mask systems.

Sterile, single-use, and free from latex, the 038961040U Endo Tube Murphy 4.0mm provides a dependable and cost-effective solution for managing airways in young patients. Its design prioritizes safe, efficient, and comfortable intubation, whether utilized in operating rooms, emergency departments, or intensive care units."
