Executive Product Overview
The McKesson Pediatric Curved Nasal Cannula with 7' Clear Supply Tubing (Manufacturer MPN #16-331E) is a medical-grade, low-flow oxygen delivery interface engineered specifically for pediatric care wards, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and home medical equipment (HME) provider fleets. Anatomically proportioned for younger patients, this cannula incorporates contoured, curved prongs to direct gas flow smoothly while minimizing contact friction and tissue irritation under small nostrils and over delicate ears.
Each unit features a non-sterile, single-patient use design pre-attached to 7 feet (2.1 meters) of clear supply tubing. Built with a 3-channel inner lumen architecture, the crush-resistant tubing guarantees continuous oxygen flow even if a child steps on, kinks, or compresses the line during treatment. Manufactured completely without natural rubber latex and certified Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant, each cannula in this wholesale bulk case of 50 is individually packaged to support sanitary inventory control across clinical facilities.
Key Technical & Operational Features
- Pediatric-Specific Contoured Prongs: Soft, anatomically scaled curved prongs fit pediatric nasal passages comfortably, reducing mucosal dryness and sore risks.
- Over-the-Ear Fastening Geometry: Lightweight, pad-free tubing loop design holds the interface securely in place without causing ear chafing during movement.
- Clear Medical-Grade Supply Tubing: Discrete, transparent tubing provides a clean clinical look preferred in pediatric residential and clinical settings.
- Crush-Resistant 3-Channel Inner Lumen: Multi-channel internal safety geometry maintains continuous gas flow even if the 7-foot line is tightly kinked or compressed.
- Standard Universal Push-On Connector: Flexible end fitting interfaces seamlessly with standard medical flowmeters, oxygen concentrators, and cylinder regulators.
- Trade Agreement Act (TAA) Compliant: Fully compliant with federal procurement standards for government and institutional purchasing protocols.
- 100% Latex-Free & Non-Sterile: Manufactured entirely without natural rubber latex to eliminate Type I allergen risks across pediatric populations.
