28Intersurgical • Quality, innovation and trustUniversal Stylet Bougie (USB™)A hybrid stylet and bougie in one simple to use deviceThe Universal Stylet Bougie, or USB, represents a significant advance in the design and development of tracheal tube introducers (bougies) and stylets. Traditionally, the design requirements of stylets and bougies have always been considered incompatible. A stylet requires sufficient rigidity to allow the tracheal tube to be manipulated to and maintained at a variety of angles, whereas a bougie needs to be flexible enough to allow positive tracheal ring feedback whilst incorporating specific memory characteristics to allow correct placement.The unique design of the USB incorporates two malleable sections with different and distinct properties either side of a more flexible section. The USB can easily be manipulated to a variety of angles when used as a stylet, yet has the flexibility when used as a bougie to provide a significantly enhanced level of tracheal ring feedback.In addition, the hexagonal shape provides less contact with the inner surface of the tracheal tube, providing particularly easy insertion and removal.Airway Accessories • Universal Stylet Bougie (USB™)optilube is a trademark of Optimum Medical.optilube™a sachet of lubricant is included in each pack to facilitate optimal insertion and removal (8090015 only)Coudé tipto optimise insertion.
