Stylets & Introducers

The Endotracheal Tube Introducer is a disposable, latex free, sterile and individually wrapped device that can be used with difficult intubations. With markings at 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm intervals, the introducer will aid in determining the depth of the ET tube.

Key benefits:

• Blend of high and low density polyethylene for optimal stiffness
• Clear depth calibrations
• Fits 4mm to 11mm ID tubes
• Both straight and curved tip available

Key benefits:

• Solid malleable stylette
• Satin finished Aluminum
• Round plastic handle for easy manipulation
• Sterile

Flex-Guide™ endotracheal tube features:

• First introduced and broadly adopted in the United States as an economical, critical nonsurgical adjunct for difficult airway intubation.
• Tubing is flexible and can be straightened or bent as required
• Will remain in the desired shape while it is used
• Easy to use 60cm length
• 1 cm bold band to use as highly visible placement depth guide
• Latex Free- Not made with natural rubber latex
• Single use
• Made in U.S.A.

Specifications:

• Coude bend (angled end) 2 cm from its distal end vibrates over the tracheal rings as the introducer is moved down the trachea, confirming to the intubator that it is correctly placed
• The adult Flex-Guide has 1 cm band at 37 cm from its proximal end to quickly and easily help to determine correct placement depth. This bold marking is especially useful in emergency intubation situations when seconds matter.
• The pediatric Flex-Guide has 10 cm markings and a lesser coude angle to account for the smaller size of the pediatric trachea.
• The Flex-Guide is similar to a "gum-elastic bougie", only more economical.

The Rusch Slick® stylet is made of malleable coated wire that holds its shape to facilitate intubation. The specially formulated nylon coating does not crack or peel while allowing for smooth tube insertion. The stylet is fitted with a stopper that helps maintain the desired stylet position within the endotracheal tube.

Features:

• Color coded blue
• Handle forming capability for a better grip
• Sterile, single use device
• Malleable coated wire
• Latex-free

Sheridan SHER-I-SLIP® intubating stylet is designed to retain the desired curve during oral intubation.

• Low friction coating for easy removal
• Packaged sterile
• Single use device
• Latex-free

InterGuide is a flexible tracheal tube introducer commonly known as a bougie. It allows positive location of the trachea and subsequent placement of the endotracheal tube in difficult airway situations.

Key benefits:

• Latex free
• Supplied sterile in easy to open individual packs

Key benefits:

• Solid aluminum or copper
• Malleable
• Single patient use

Each Truer medical stylet contains malleable wire encased in a specially designed PVC sheath which allows it to be used in a wide range of Endotracheal Tube (ET) sizes while still maintaining the shape required. With just two stylet sizes, all ET sizes are covered, simplifying inventory control and ordering.

Features:

• PVC frosted-finish sheath reduces friction between stylet and ET Tube
• Special ventilated end cap
• Two sizes cover all ET tube sizes
• Safety end cap prevents stylet from advancing during intubation
• Reduced diameter facilitates post-intubation removal
• Sterile
• Single patient use

• Soft distal tip reduces risk of trauma
• Low friction coating for easy removal

• Single use device
• Latex-free
• Size 10 French
• Fits tubes 4.0 mm - 6.5 mm
• Length 44 cm

InterForm is a malleable endotracheal stylet, allowing the user to form the endotracheal tube into a suitable shape to ease insertion and give more control of the airway device.

Key benefits:

• Single use
• Latex free
• Supplied sterile in easy to open individual packs

The latex free Bougie-To-Go™ introducer was developed with first responders in mind. Designed with firm yet flexible quality, the Bougie-To-Go™ features compact packaging. It fits in paramedic bags, pockets, and smaller storage spaces.

The fiber optic, lighted stylet provides illumination during intubation and also incorporates the features of a malleable stylet. With the benefits of Fiber Optics, the "Extra Bright" bulb is securely encased in the handle (#00-471). The lighted malleable stylet assists in the visualization required for the proper placement of tracheal tube during intubation and effectively illuminates (trans-tracheal) the soft tissue of the neck. The included stylet stop provides reliable positioning of the ET tube during use.

• Uses 2 AA batteries (not included)
• 07-00-470 has a 3mm minimum size of the ET tube
• 07-00-469 has a 5mm minimum size of the ET tube
