Veterinary Curved Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes

Veterinary Curved Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes

Veterinary-Specific Curved Cuffed Endotracheal Tubesare designed specifically for animal patients, offering a veterinary-specific curvature that supports smoother, safer and more predictable intubation during anaesthesia. Unlike straight endotracheal tubes or tubes adapted from human medical designs, these tubes are shaped to better suit the airway position of animals under anaesthetic.

Key Features

• Veterinary-Specific Curved Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes
• Designed for animal airway positioning during anaesthesia
• Helps support smoother, more controlled intubation
• High-volume, low-pressure cuff
• Medical-grade PVC softens at body temperature
• Sterile, single-packed ET tube with connector

During veterinary anaesthesia, animals – particularly dogs – are often intubated with the head and neck fully extended. In this position, the airway is not naturally curved like a human airway, but it is also not perfectly straight. The veterinary-specific curvature is designed to bridge this gap, helping guide the tube more naturally through the larynx and into position.

This improved alignment may help reduce unnecessary contact with the tracheal wall, supporting a gentler intubation process and reducing the risk of irritation during use. The balanced curvature also helps make intubation more intuitive, especially when compared with straight tubes or human-curved alternatives.

Each tube is manufactured from medical-grade PVC, which softens at body temperature to help reduce post-operative irritation. The tubes also feature a high-volume, low-pressure cuff, designed to provide an effective seal while helping minimise pressure on the tracheal wall.

These Veterinary Endotracheal Tubes are supplied sterile and individually packed, making them suitable for professional veterinary clinical environments, operating theatres and treatment rooms.

Available in sizes 2mm to 13mm, including veterinary-specific larger sizes 11mm, 12mm and 13mm.
