What is it indicated for?
Restores the integrity of damaged endotracheal and tracheostomy pilot tubes
When the endotracheal or tracheostomy pilot tube no longer maintains cuff inflation pressure, the needle of the BE 409 Pilot Tube Repair Kit is inserted into the cut pilot tube. The cuff can then be re-inflated in the usual manner. Such a repair can deter the need to replace the entire endotracheal or tracheostomy tube because of a damaged pilot tube.
