The Smiths Medical Portex Blue Line Ultra Tracheostomy Tube with Soft-Seal Cuff is designed to establish and maintain a secure airway in patients requiring short-term or long-term tracheostomy management. Manufactured from medical-grade thermosensitive PVC, the tube softens at body temperature, allowing it to adapt comfortably to the patient's airway while maintaining structural integrity.
The integrated Soft-Seal high-volume, low-pressure cuff helps create an effective tracheal seal during positive pressure ventilation while reducing localized pressure on the tracheal wall. The tube also features a smooth outer surface, radiopaque line, 15 mm universal connector, and an obturator to support safe insertion.
Available in internal diameters ranging from 6.0 mm to 8.5 mm, this series is widely used in intensive care units, emergency departments, operating theatres, and long-term respiratory care settings.
Shah Trading Corporation is a trusted dealer and distributor of genuine Smiths Medical Portex airway management products across India, supplying hospitals, healthcare institutions, and medical professionals.

Product Usage
The Portex Blue Line Ultra Tracheostomy Tube is inserted through a surgically created opening in the trachea to establish a direct airway. The Soft-Seal cuff is then inflated to create a gentle seal, allowing effective ventilation while helping reduce air leakage and aspiration during respiratory support.
