Teleflex ISIS HVT: The first convertible endotracheal tube
The Teleflex ISIS HVT is a comprehensive, convertible endotracheal tube that provides optimal airway access and management. With an integrated suction port and a separate line for subglottic secretion suctioning, the Teleflex ISIS HVT meets the needs of patients requiring both short- and long-term ventilation, without the need to change tubes.
When long-term intubation is necessary, a suction line can be attached to the integrated suction port to remove subglottic secretions, which can accumulate above the endotracheal tube cuff. Drainage of these secretions has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy in reducing early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).1 The Teleflex ISIS HVT allows clinicians to remove subglottic secretions without changing their current intubation procedures.

Introducing the new Teleflex ISIS HVT Endotracheal Tube. Featuring a separate suction line, this convertible endotracheal tube allows for subglottic secretion removal—when you need it. The versatile design eliminates the need to be selective during initial intubation, increasing the number of patients who can be viable candidates for subglottic secretion suctioning, a clinically proven strategy for VAP reduction.1
The Teleflex ISIS HVT endotracheal tube features an integrated suction port and separate suction line, allowing for subglottic secretion removal, on-demand. When needed, the suction line attaches to the Teleflex ISIS HVT endotracheal tube via a secure locking connection. Both connection ports can be sealed when not in use. This versatile design allows you to make the right choice, every time.
