High-Yield Explanation
Montgomery tracheal tube is designed to give the surgeon a complete program for creating a secondary airway-from initial incision through long-term tracheostomy care. It is a tracheal cannula system used in place of tracheostomy tubes. The system provides long-term access to the tracheal airway in situations that require an aificial airway or where access is needed for pulmonary hygiene. It is so designed that the thin inner flange of the cannula is shaped to fit snugly against the contour of the inner anterior tracheal wall. No tube projects into the tracheal lumen. All tracheal cannulas are made of flexible implant grade silicone to assure patient comfo and safety while reducing complications.
