The Smiths Medical K1000 is a non-sterile endotracheal tube holder designed to securely hold tubes ranging from 4.5-6.5mm in diameter. This product is part of the SecureEasy® and Quickstrap systems, which are designed to eliminate the need for tape and time-consuming taping procedures.
One of the key features of this holder is its ability to evenly distribute pressure across the face, reducing discomfort and potential skin damage. It also includes an integrated soft bite block that prevents the patient from biting the endotracheal tube, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted flow restriction.
The holder is made from a non-adhesive, non-porous soft foam that rests gently against the skin. This design allows for frequent facial hygiene and oral care, enhancing patient comfort and safety.
Each box contains 30 tube holders, making it a cost-effective choice for medical facilities.
