1. Endotracheal tube with special suction lumen

2. Subglottic secretion

3. Tracheal tube with special suction lumen

3. Subglottic secretion is removed via the simex cuff S or cuff M pump with the convenience of highly customized intermittent settings

 

Advantages for Patient
• Safe application, limited to -300mbar pressure
• Virtually silent operation
• Adjustable to patient secretion viscosity and volume
• Dry stoma
• Prevents skin inflammation
• Reduces bad smell
• Sooner weaning
• Reduced mortality
 

Advantages to Nursing Staff
• Saves nursing time due to automated  intermittent subglottic aspiration
• Subglottic suction reduces lung infection (VAP)
• Closed aspiration system reduces risk of cross contamination
• Easy function control
• Alarm functions
• Fits to all standard ETT and ET tubes
 

Advantages to Clinical Outcome
• Reduces lung infection (VAP)
• Reduces endotracheal/bronchial suctioning
• Reduces mortality

​

Advantages to Hospital/Clinics
• Saves cost by preventing lung infection (VAP)
• Reduced cost for endotracheal suctioning
• helps to prevent 10 to 14 extended ICU days caused by lung infection
