The Portex® is a flexible disposable inner cannula (DIC) tracheostomy tube made with siliconized PVC. This material creates a softer, more flexible option that allows for easier insertion and reduces potential trauma to the tracheal area and post-surgical infection. Each tube includes an integrated 15mm connector for ventilator circuit attachment.
Benefits
Color-coded system: A system using five colors allows patients and caregivers to better identify tubes by size and inner cannula. Colors correspond with the size listed on the diameter of the inner cannula.
• 6mm -> fits 7mm tube
• 7mm -> fits 8mm tube
• 8mm -> fits 9mm tube
• 9mm -> fits 10mm tube
Innovative clip: The obturator includes a unique clip that lessens tip movement as the tube is inserted.
15mm connector: Built into each tube, this feature allows a caregiver to attach a ventilator no matter if the inner cannula is in position.
Soft-Seal® Cuff: Added to Cuffed Flex DIC tubes, this feature creates a low-pressure seal that further reduces potential trauma to the area.
Disposable: All Portex® DIC tracheostomy tubes are designed to be disposable, eliminating the need to clean tubes between uses.
Latex free: Latex-free construction reduces irritation and potential allergic reactions for certain patients.
