35401
Endotracheal tube cuff inflator (A manually-powered device designed to instill air into the cuff of an in situ endotracheal (ET)/endobronchial tube. The inflator typically includes a manually-operated rubber bulb for the delivery of ambient air into the cuff, and a pressure gauge or manometer that displays the pressure within the cuff to help prevent the development of excessive pressure which may cause trauma to the trachea. The purpose of the cuff is to provide an adequate seal for positive pressure ventilation and to prevent aspirated secretions from passing into the lungs. This is a reusable device.)
