ABSTRACT:
A sterilized medical appliance is disclosed, consisting of a preassembled catheter or endotracheal tube with connector, guide, stop, and handle, packaged within a sealed envelope and ready for immediate use in case of emergency. The assembled and packaged appliance is gas-sterilizable within the sealed envelope. The guide positioned within the endotracheal tube serves to provide structural support and protection for the endotracheal tube during handling and shipping. The endotracheal tube surrounding the guide serves to reduce the risk of penetration of the sealed envelope by the distal tip portion of the guide. The envelope is composed of a tough, flexible, transparent, plastic material to permit visual inspection and to enable the manual configuration of the endotracheal tube, with guide inserted, into a desired shape for intubation without danger of rupture of the envelope and without loss of sterility.
