Portex® Blue Line Ultra® Tracheostomy Tube

Easy insertion and patient comfort

  • Cuffed Blue Line Ultra® tracheostomy tubes are designed to provide an effective tracheal seal for ventilated patients to reduce the risk of aspiration.
  • The high volume, low pressure Soft-Seal® cuff is intended to minimise patient trauma. Because of the cuff’s large volume, a larger surface area is in contact with the trachea. This allows the cuff to create an effective seal against the trachea at a lower pressure.
  • Blue Line Ultra® fenestrated tubes are available which help the weaning and vocalisation process. The tubes multiple fenestrations help reduce the risk of occlusion and prevent the suction catheter from passing through the fenestrated opening and entering the trachea.
  • Blue Line Ultra® kits include tracheostomy tube, two inner cannulae, cleaning brush and tracheostomy tube holder to provide secure positioning and minimise movement of the tube.
