TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE STRUCTURE

Abstract

Provided is a tracheostomy tube structure, which includes a temperature-controllable and deformable wire embedded in the wall of a flexible tube. The wire deforms in response to temperature changes, thereby altering the diameter of the tube. This allows the tracheostomy tube to be inserted with a reduced diameter, enhancing patient comfort during the procedure. After the tracheostomy tube is in place, the tube can expand to a larger diameter as the wire deforms, preventing the accumulation of sputum that could lead to biofilm formation and addressing the issue of sputum accumulation in the space between the tracheostomy tube and the trachea, thereby facilitating better breathing for the patient.
