Endobronchial tubes are medical devices inserted through the trachea to maintain airway access or deliver gases like anesthetics directly into a lung. They come in two main types: double-lumen tubes for unilateral lung ventilation and twin-lumen tubes for selective lung isolation during surgery or recovery.
These devices are generally single-use and regulated as medical instruments, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are designed for short-term use in clinical settings like operating rooms or intensive care, where precise airway control is critical.
