Basic endotracheal tube, reusable

A basic endotracheal tube is a hollow cylinder inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to maintain a clear airway during anaesthesia, resuscitation, or when a patient requires mechanical ventilation. It is designed to deliver gases to and from the lungs and may include features such as an inflatable cuff to seal the airway, a connector for breathing circuits, radiopacity for X-ray visibility, and a pilot balloon for cuff pressure monitoring.

This category includes reusable devices available in various sizes for adult and paediatric patients. They do not contain antimicrobial agents and are supplied without drugs. Regulation and classification depend on the jurisdiction, but they are typically subject to medical device controls based on their intended use and design features.
