Overview
AI-generated summary, 6 Oct 2026
The Univent Tube is a tracheal/bronchial differential ventilation device designed to facilitate one-lung ventilation. It features a malleable shaft for smooth intubation into the target bronchus and a flexible blocker with a soft open lumen tip that allows for smooth manipulation. The blocker can be positioned in the right or left mainstem bronchus or used to block specific lung segments, and its lumen supports CPAP, insufflation, or air exhaustion.
The device is supplied in sizes 7.0mm, 7.5mm, 8.0mm, 8.5mm, and 9.0mm. It is intended for use in anesthesia and thoracic procedures requiring differential lung ventilation. Regulatory records indicate a Traditional 510(k) clearance with a substantially equivalent decision. No information on sterility, reusability, MRI safety, or storage is provided in the available data.
