The SAFE-SEAL ENDO Tube utilizes a series of silicone baffles to replace the inflation cu. It eliminates the risks of over inflation, under inflation and leaky tubes. The soft, flexible baffles seal the trachea without pressure and cleanses the trachea of all fluids upon extubation. The ET tube’s one piece construction of medical grade silicone is autoclavable.

How does the Safe Seal Endo Tube work:

Almost all ET tubes used today depend upon an inflation cu to seal the tube in the trachea, except the Safe-Seal™ ET tube featuring the Blaine Bafflex System. This technology uses a series of 6 silicone baffles with carefully engineered pattern and spacing to seal the trachea without pressure points. The flexible baffles allow an “o-ring effect”. The Safe-Seal ET tube lies in the trachea and the sealing baffles touch the tracheal wall leaning towards the larynx. Thus, when the patient inspires the silicone baffles are sucked against the trachea forming a tight seal.

The special design allows passage of pressure exceeding 20-30 centimeters of water in the patient’s lungs. If the pop-o valve is accidentally left closed, the excess pressure is released and no harm will come to the patient. If more than 20-30 centimeters of water pressure is desired, the tube is merely withdrawn 1/2 inch causing the baffles to ip over and the tip will then face caudally thereby allowing as much pressure to be applied as deemed necessary.

These soft, flexible baffles are atraumatic to the tracheal surface due to the limited contact of the baffles. There is minimal contact with the tracheal wall when using the Safe-Seal tube as opposed to the large area of contact of inflation cu tubes. This means the tube can be left in the same position for extended periods of time.
