Description
Endobronchial Blocker for Reliable Lung Isolation
When your case plan requires lung isolation, it is essential to have an endobronchial blocker that is quick to position, stable during surgery, and gentle on the airway. The Tappaâ„¢ Bronchial Blocker is specifically designed to facilitate one-lung ventilation across a variety of thoracic and cardiothoracic procedures. It helps you achieve consistent lung collapse and control with a streamlined setup.
The Tappa features a flexible, slim main tube and a high-volume, low-pressure silicone cuff. Together, these features support reliable bronchial sealing, atraumatic placement, and stability throughout the procedure.
One-Lung Ventilation (OLV) Made Practical
One-lung ventilation is often essential in thoracoscopic surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and complex airway cases where surgical exposure depends on controlled lung collapse. Our endobronchial blocker tube is engineered to make OLV workflows smoother by supporting:
- Efficient placement with bronchoscopic guidance
- Stable lung isolation once positioned
- Controlled collapse to improve the surgical field during thoracic procedures
Whether you are planning a lung resection or navigating a challenging airway scenario, the goal is the same: reliable isolation with fewer interruptions.
Designed for Thoracoscopic Surgery, Lobectomy, and Lung Resection
The endobronchial blocker tube is often chosen for procedures such as:
- Lobectomy
- Lung resection
- Thoracoscopic surgery
- Cardiothoracic surgery
An endobronchial blocker can be used alongside a standard endotracheal tube, making it particularly useful when switching to a double-lumen tube is not preferred or when the patient’s anatomy and airway access require a more flexible solution..
Airway-Friendly Seal: High-Volume, Low-Pressure Silicone Cuff
A core performance factor in any endobronchial blocker is the cuff. Tappa’s high-volume, low-pressure silicone cuff is designed to conform to bronchial anatomy and support sealing while reducing localized pressure. The result is a lung isolation solution intended to balance:
- Effective bronchial occlusion
- Reduced risk of mucosal trauma from excessive pressure
- Stable positioning during patient or surgical manipulation
Streamlined Control with Smart, Clinician-Focused Features
Our blocker tube is designed to minimize friction in daily thoracic anesthesia procedures. Key features include:
- A flexible, slim main tube for easier navigation and positioning
- A port that facilitates bronchoscopy-guided placement
- An auto-inflation system to aid cuff management and sealing control
- A Tappa Angle that assists with directional control during placement
- A blocker tube clamp to help maintain position after verification
These details are built to support consistency—especially when time and visibility are limited.
Sizes for Adults, Children, and Infants
Different patients and procedures call for different dimensions. The endobronchial blocker is available in multiple sizes to support broader use across patient populations:
- 5 Fr for infants and children
- 7 Fr for children and small adults
- 9 Fr for adults
This size range helps standardize the approach to lung isolation while allowing clinicians to match the device to the patient’s airway size and clinical goals.
Endobronchial Blocker Tube FAQs
What is an endobronchial blocker used for?
An endobronchial blocker is used for lung isolation, primarily to facilitate one-lung ventilation during thoracic and cardiothoracic procedures where selective lung collapse improves surgical exposure.
When would I choose an endobronchial blocker instead of a double-lumen tube?
Clinicians often consider an endobronchial blocker when lung isolation is needed while using a standard endotracheal tube. This may be particularly relevant in difficult airway cases, when a tube exchange is not preferred, or when selective or lobar ventilation is necessary.
Can the Tappa Endobronchial Blocker tube be used for thoracoscopic surgery, lobectomy, or lung resection?
Lung isolation is often necessary for thoracoscopic surgery, lobectomy, and lung resection. Tappa is designed to support these procedures through bronchoscopic placement and a bronchial sealing cuff.
What sizes are available?
Tappa is available in 5 Fr for infants, 7 Fr for children or small adults, and 9 Fr for adults. Screw-type, auto-inflation, and normal configurations are available to support lung isolation across a broad range of patients.
How does the cuff design help during one-lung ventilation?
Tappa uses a high-volume, low-pressure silicone cuff designed to conform to bronchial anatomy and support an effective seal while reducing the risks associated with excessive cuff pressure.
