Zeus Medical introduces a brand new, proprietary specialty oral endotracheal tube, ip-tubeTM specifically designed to provide robust operation in interventional pulmonary (IP) procedures.

ip-tubeTM , an specialty oral endotracheal tube is exclusively designed to provide robust operation in interventional pulmonary (IP) procedures, i.e. navigation bronchoscopy, endo bronchoscopy ultrasound, tumor debulking and pulmonary stenting etc.  By its unique design, ip-tubeTM provides better tube stability during IP procedures, gives larger inner diameter (ID) working space while maintaining either the same or smaller outer diameter (OD) to accommodate the larger pore bronchoscope usually being used during IP procedures. The forward bevel design of the ip-tubeTM exposes more paratracheal lymph nodes to be biopsied compared to existing endotracheal tube. The two side caeli oculus(Murphy eyes) improves ventilation, reduces airway pressure, resistance during procedures while the tube space is largely taken up by the bronchoscope. The straight up, ergonomic design of proximal portion of ip-tubeTM, facilitates surgeon’s smooth operation without back hurting back from bending forward. The sleek, fit length design eliminates the need of tube cutting as routinely being done with currently available endotracheal tubes.
