Innovative products for head and neck surgery and airway management

Radiopaque T-Tubes

Hood Laboratories offers the largest selection of T-Tubes. Hood Radiopaque T-Tubes permit secure placement to maintain the airway in acute injuries and to support the resected trachea. These Tracheal T-Tubes, fabricated of implant-grade radiopaque silicone, are strong, flexible, and non-abrasive to assure patient comfort.

They are designed to maintain short-term patency of the tracheal airway and to provide respiration through the larynx. They allow normal humidification and phonation. The Radiopaque T-Tubes meet all the indications of use as referred to in the description of Tracheal and Thoracic T-Tubes.

The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual, which is supplied with each product, provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.
