Intubating Stylet

Selection principles for intubating stylet based on patient age and gender
The patient's age and gender are two important considerations when choosing an intubating stylet. There are significant differences between children and adults in physiological structure, weight, height and organ size, so the choice of intubating stylet must fully consider these factors.
Children: Children's respiratory tract is relatively narrow, the larynx is located high, and the cartilage tissue is soft and prone to collapse. Therefore, when choosing an intubating stylet, priority should be given to catheters with smaller sizes and higher flexibility to avoid damage to the respiratory tract. The silicone single-lumen laryngeal masks, silicone double-lumen laryngeal masks and various types of endotracheal intubations provided by Ningbo Yuxin Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. are soft and smooth, and are very suitable for children. At the same time, the company can provide customized intubation catheter services based on the child's specific age and weight, ensuring that the catheter size perfectly matches the patient's needs.
Adults: The respiratory tract of adults is relatively wide, the larynx is low, and the cartilage tissue is tough. When choosing intubating stylet, you can choose a conduit with larger size and moderate hardness. Ningbo Yuxin Medical Instruments Co., Ltd.'s PVC laryngeal masks, double-lumen bronchial tubes, and visual double-lumen bronchial tubes and other products have sufficient hardness and stability to meet the needs of adult patients. At the same time, the company can provide customized intubation catheter services based on the patient's specific condition and surgical needs to ensure that the catheter can smoothly enter the target site during the operation.
As the elderly age, their physical functions gradually decline, and their respiratory functions will also be affected. When selecting an intubation catheter, special attention should be paid to the following points:
Softness: The respiratory tract of the elderly is relatively fragile, so a catheter with higher softness should be selected to reduce irritation and damage to the respiratory tract.
Size: The airways of older adults may become narrower with age, so a smaller size catheter should be used to ensure smooth entry of the catheter into the airway.
Stability: The elderly have poor physical function, and the catheter should remain stable during the operation to avoid surgical risks caused by catheter displacement. Ningbo Yuxin Medical Instruments Co., Ltd.'s endotracheal intubation products are soft and stable enough to meet the needs of elderly patients.
Although gender is not a decisive factor in the choice of intubating stylet, patients of different genders have differences in physiological structure and physiological characteristics, and these differences may have a certain impact on the choice of intubation catheter.
male vs female
Laryngeal structure: The male larynx structure is relatively large and the laryngeal cavity is wider, while the female laryngeal structure is relatively small and the laryngeal cavity is narrow. Therefore, when selecting an intubation catheter, the appropriate catheter size should be selected based on the patient's laryngeal structure.
Airway length: Men have relatively long airways, while women have relatively short airways. This difference may affect the depth and position of the catheter into the airway. When selecting an intubating stylet, the difference in airway length should be fully considered to ensure that the catheter can accurately reach the target site.
