The Mallinckrodt® Hi-Lo Evac® endotracheal tube is the only endotracheal tube of its kind featuring a separate dorsal lumen that supports continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS). With recommendations from the CDC, ATS and AACN, the Hi-Lo Evac tube is now being used by facilities around the country as a clinically demonstrated method to reduce VAP.

Benefits of the Hi-Lo Evac endotracheal tube:

  • Only endotracheal tube on the market clinically proven to reduce VAP
  • Proven to reduce ICU length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation
  • Used in more than a million patients
  • Can further reduce VAP rates when other interventions are already in use

For more information about how the Hi-Lo Evac endotracheal tube can reduce VAP incidences and costs at your hospital, contact your Nellcor Puritan Bennett Respiratory Care Account Manager.
