A simple solution to a complex problem

Spritztube® is a patented medical device by Med Europe s.r.l. that revolutionizes the approach to airway management. It was developed to overcome the limitations of traditional devices, which require removal of the supraglottic airway to proceed with endotracheal intubation.

Its distinctive feature is the ability to function both as a supraglottic airway for immediate ventilation, and as an endotracheal tube for definitive intubation, simply by modifying the cuff configuration.

Spritztube® is available in disposable version (medical grade PVC with embedded metal coil) and resterilizable version (medical grade silicone with embedded metal coil), representing the concrete answer to the daily challenges of anesthesiologists, intensivists, and emergency operators.

Versions

Disposable (medical grade PVC with embedded metal coil)
Resterilizable (medical grade silicone with embedded metal coil)

Materials

Tube – medical grade PVC with embedded metal coil
Balloons – distal in medical grade PVC, proximal in PUR
Cuffs – medical grade PVC
Stylet – PVC coated malleable steel

Spritztube® anatomy

Every component is designed to ensure safety, effectiveness, and ease of use.

Reinforced PVC/Silicone tube

Anti-kinking structure.

Proximal cuff

Supraglottic for ventilation, tracheal in case of intubation.

Esophageal cuff

Protects airway from gastric contents.

Malleable stylet with non-traumatic tip

Keeps cuffs in line during introduction, serves as guide during intubation.

Flexible tab

Links the two cuffs while keeping them independent.

Two dedicated inflation lines

Independent control of cuffs.

Why choose Spritztube®

Da presidio sovraglottico a tubo endotracheale in pochi, semplici passaggi.

Insert

Spritztube® blindly or with laryngoscope. Inflate both cuffs. Patient is ventilated and protected.

Vale

Calmly, while patient breathes. Decide if to intubate and how. No time pressure, better decisions.

Intubate

Deflate proximal cuff. Advance into trachea with laryngoscope or fiberscope. No need to exchange airway devices.

Ventilate

Inflate tracheal cuff. Intubation completed. Same device, new function.

Why Spritztube® is different

A direct comparison highlighting the advantages in terms of time, safety, and simplicity.

Traditional	Spritztube®
6 step	5 step
2 devices	1 device
Mandatory exchange	No change
Apnea during exchange	Continuous ventilation*
Extra maneuvers	Reduced maneuvers

*Continuous ventilation refers to fiberoptic intubation: apnea is reduced to minimum, only for the time needed to deflate the device, advance it into the trachea, and reinflate.
