SURTEX® Luer Tracheal Tubes help patients to breathe through the neck opening after throat surgeons perform a tracheotomy. Doctors make this opening if there are masses or tumors in the neck that block the normal upper airway.

In addition, Luer tubes protects the patient from the sedation need for long-term ventilation and oral intubation. It also prevents the infections and pain that the patients experiences due to standard oral tubes.

During tracheotomy procedures, surgeons make an opening in the front of the neck. Then, they insert the SURTEX® Luer Tracheal Tube in the surgical stoma.

Each Luer set has an outer and an inner tube. The doctors fix the collar of the outer tube to the neck for stability. The inner long tube prevents blocks by thick secretions. In addition, it allows easy removal and cleaning.

Furthermore, this device does not need a pilot during the first passage, and does not need a lock system to keep the tubes in place.

We make a wide variety of Luer tubes to suit a range of surgical needs. They range from 45 to 90 mm, and are available with diameters ranging from 5 to 13 mm.
