Comparison of the Length and Shape of Various Preformed Nasotracheal Tubes
Several changes in tube lengths and cuff lengths/shapes were noted among manufacturers relative to the historical data. These findings demonstrate that manufacturer specifications can change over time. In dentistry and oral surgery, Parker tubes may be more ideal due to their longer effective lengths because extension and/or rotation of the neck can decrease NTT insertion depth.
