Portex North Polar Nasal Preformed Tracheal Tube for Facio-Maxillary Surgery

Inquire Now

The Portex® Polar Preformed Tracheal Tube is specially designed for nasal intubation during facio-maxillary, oral, and ENT surgical procedures. Its preformed north-facing configuration directs the breathing circuit away from the operative area, helping maintain better access around the face and mouth during surgery.

The tube is manufactured from soft ivory PVC to support smoother nasal insertion while maintaining airway stability during anesthesia. The integrated Profile Soft Seal® cuff is engineered to provide an effective tracheal seal with controlled cuff pressure, supporting safe ventilation throughout the procedure.

Its anatomical curvature, clear depth markings, and standard connectivity make it suitable for operating room environments where secure airway management and surgical access are equally important.

Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is a trusted supplier and distributor of Portex Anesthesia & Airway Management products across India.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a north nasal tube preferred in maxillofacial procedures?

It keeps the breathing circuit away from the operative field, improving surgical access around the mouth and jaw.

How does the preformed shape help during surgery?

The fixed curvature helps maintain tube position and reduces unnecessary movement during procedures.

What is the function of the Murphy eye?

It provides an alternate airflow pathway if the main tube opening becomes partially obstructed.
