Sorenson Medical Inc. Trach-Eze Neonatal/Pediatric Closed Suction Catheter System Reduces Ventilatory Compromise to the Patient.Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 2003 Sorenson Medical Inc. announced today the immediate availability of its Trach-Eze(R) Neonatal/Pediatric Closed Suction Catheter System for ventilated ven·ti·late tr.v. ven·ti·lat·ed, ven·ti·lat·ing, ven·ti·lates 1.

The clear, lightweight Trach-Eze is designed exclusively for neonatal patients by incorporating isolation of the Catheter Assembly from the patient, modular components, minimal dead space, a straight ventilation channel and colored as well as numeric depth markings. In addition to being a modular system, the unique endotracheal tube endotracheal tube n. A tube inserted into the trachea to provide a passageway for air. Also called tracheal tube. Endotracheal tube (ETT ETT Empresa de Trabajo Temporal (Spain) ETT European Transactions on Telecommunications ETT Exercise Treadmill Test ETT Embedded Training Team ETT Exercise Tolerance Test (cardiology) ) Connector Access Valve completely isolates the suction catheter from the patient, maintains an obstruction-free airway after each suction episode and minimizes ventilator circuit breaks, thus maintaining efficient ventilation and reducing the potential for infection. The Trach-Eze's unique ETT Connector Access Valve improves patient management by isolating the suction catheter from the patient while maintaining ventilation.

Ventilation during catheter change-out. The Trach-Eze ETT Connector Access Valve prevents accidental irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. of saline into airways while at the same time, protecting clinicians from back-spray. Another feature of the Trach-Eze System is the completely sealed Suction Control Valve A device that modulates the flow of fluid in a conduit in response to a signal from a process measurement control system. that provides added safety features for the patient. The locking of the valve decreases incidence of improper valve use or inadvertent suction. The easy-to-use locking valve provides visual, written and physical indicators denoting the device is either locked or unlocked. The modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. and components of the neonatal/pediatric Trach-Eze provide added safety and comfort for ventilated patients as well as lower costs by eliminating waste through separate ETT Connector and Catheter Assembly packaging. The Catheter Assembly of the Trach-Eze incorporates a clear Sputum Trap(TM) for visualization and assessment of secretions, color-coded Fr size markings, and a catheter with numeric as well as colored depth markings for accurate depth insertion and minimal mucosal trauma. The blunt tip with specially designed eyelets provides efficient vacuum flow and lessens blunt trauma blunt trauma Molecular Any injury sustained from blunt force, which may be related to MVAs, or mishaps, falls or jumps, blows or crush injuries from animals, blunt objects or unarmed assailants.

"Sorenson Medical Inc. is committed to producing the highest-quality line of Closed Suction Catheter Systems for adults and children," said Thomas Orsini, president and COO at Sorenson Medical Inc. "We believe the unique access valve and modular design will make the Trach-Eze the clinician's Closed Suction Catheter System of choice for ventilated patients." The Trach-Eze's separate ETT Connectors fit endotracheal tube sizes 2.0-4.5 mm. Also available is a universal 15 mm I.D. airway connector. An addition to the Trach-Eze Neonatal/Pediatric Closed Suction Catheter System is the unique Surfactant Surfactant Definition Surfactant is a complex naturally occurring substance made of six lipids (fats) and four proteins that is produced in the lungs. It can also be manufactured synthetically. Delivery Adapter. This low-cost adapter enables surfactant delivery without change-out of the catheter and disconnection of the patient from the ventilator.
