What is the ETTAclamp?
The ETTAclamp is designed to provide a reliable and effective clamp on the Endotracheal tube, ensuring a tight seal and preventing any potential leakage of air or fluids. It is specifically engineered to enhance infection control measures and minimize the risk of cross-contamination during medical procedures involving intubation. Made of medical grade POM (Polyoxymethylene) and Silver additives, its antibacterial properties not only prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms but also contribute to maintaining a sterile environment in critical care settings.
How it Functions
The ETTAclamp is made of two distinct parts: the clamp itself and the Quad. The Endotracheal Tube (ETT) passes through the clamp, and the quad is adjusted according to the pressure needed. The quad will add more or less pressure depending on what position it's set to. For the intubation process, the ETTAclamp has a built in 5 mm ostium to accommodate the intubating stylet. This feature allows for easy insertion and removal of the stylet during intubation, enhancing the overall efficiency of the procedure.
Testimonials
The ETTA device is an enormous asset in the management of the suspected patient of COVID pathology in terms of approach in the prehospital environment. The possibility of sealing makes the environment safer for the team, also allowing the transport of the critical patient to the hospital unit more secure in terms of airway management in this type of patient.
Pedro Caldeira

In emergency and intensive care, ensuring the safety of professionals is critical. Basic and advanced life support algorithms prioritise safety first. The ETTAclamp enhances team safety during endotracheal intubation in any setting, whether out-of-hospital, in the emergency room, intensive care unit, or operating theatre.
Marco Job Batista
Specialist Nurse in Medical-Surgical Nursing
I used the ETTAclamp to manage a patient in cardiopulmonary arrest in an out-of-hospital setting. Designed to enhance team protection against respiratory infections during airway management, it ensures secure clamping of the orotracheal tube (TOT) and accommodates the use of TOT conductors, making it effective even in difficult airway situations.

Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, the ETTAclamp is essential for airway management in any scenario. It prevents alveolar derecruitment, reduces aerosol contamination risk, and protects staff in cases of alveolar flooding (e.g., EAP, hemorrhage, or trauma). It belongs on every emergency, airway, or anaesthesia cart, regardless of location or clinical situation.
José Alexandre
Head Chief Nurse
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the "ETTAclamp" device contained the spread of the virus and protected healthcare workers during intubation of respiratory failure patients. As a rehabilitation nurse in an intensive care unit, I strongly recommend all medical professionals to use the "ETTAclamp" for its numerous advantages in maximizing worker safety against COVID-19.

Simple to Use
The device is designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, ensuring that it does not disrupt the natural alignment of the ETT during intubation and allowing healthcare professionals to easily incorporate it into their intubation procedures.
Viral Particles
Due to the potential for viral particles to become airborne during these procedures. The ETTAclamp not only provides a secure seal, but it also reduces the dispersion of aerosols, further protecting healthcare workers from potential exposure to the virus.
Strong Grip
The ETTAclamp is designed to provide a reliable and effective clamp on the Endotracheal tube, preventing any unwanted de-clamping, ensuring a tight seal, and preventing any potential leakage of air or fluids.
Perfect Size for ETT
There are two versions of the ETTAclamp suitable for endotracheal tubes: from sizes 6 to 8.5 for the adult version and from 3.5 to 6 for the pediatric version.
Anti Microbial
The antimicrobial additive in the medical grade POM material helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, ensuring a higher level of hygiene. This extra protection is particularly important in medical settings, where cross-contamination can be a concern.
Green is Better
The ETTAclamp uses fully recyclable materials that can be easily processed by recycling facilities. This ensures that the ETTAclamp has a minimal impact on the environment and promotes sustainable waste management practices.

Adult and Paediatric Versions
The ETTAclamp is designed to securely seal the endotracheal tubes within the desired size range. It is important to choose the appropriate size ETTAclamp based on the patient's anatomical requirements. There are two ETTAclamp sizes Available. One for Endotracheal Tubes from sizes 6 to 8.5 and a smaller pediatric version for Endotracheal Tubes from 3.5 to 6.
