BEVEL BOBBIN
DESIGN Combining the best features of the Baxter Bevel Button and the Reuter Bobbin, the beveled shape resists occlusion and clears easily. |
|
TE-7029-CE
Fluoroplastic Without wire
1.14mm I.D. |
Also available in non-sterile bulk
|
DONALDSON
DESIGN Popular ventilation tube due to its straightforward design which resists extrusion. Silicone material offers elasticity for easy insertion. Available with or without integral tab. |
|
TE-7024-CE
Silicone With tab to facilitate easy removal 1.1mm I.D. |
|
TE-7025-CE
Silicone Without tab 1.1mm I.D. |
Also available in non-sterile bulk
|
PAPARELLA DESIGN Unique design of notched inner flange facilitates insertion through simple "twist-in" movement. Very stable for long-term implantation. Integral tab for removal with forceps. Available are Type I and Type II. Type II is a long-term design similar to the short-term Type I. Type II has large inner flange allowing easy placement and 1.5mm inner diameter to help prevent blockage. |

ARMSTRONG
DESIGN Made of polyethylene or fluoroplastic. Beveled inner flange is angled to fit the tympanic membrane and resist premature extrusion. Available are original Plain End Type and Grommet Type with outer flange which helps prevent migration into middle ear. For long-term ventilation. |
|
TE-7056-CE
Polyethylene Grommet Type
Short Shaft |
Also available in non-sterile bulk

T-TUBE DESIGN Proven to be the most popular long-term tube. The T-flange and long shaft design keep the tube firmly positioned giving the surgeon complete control over length of ventilation time. The silicone material allows soft flanges to collapse easily for introduction through a very small incision and safe and comfortable removal at any time. Can be easily trimmed to adapt to the surgeon's needs. Also features are pre-trimmed T-tubes for convenience. |
