The HORSESHOE™

A novel patented solution for more reliable ET tube securement, prevention of facial pressure injuries, and more effective oral care.

Secure. Prevent. Comply.

One ET tube holder that can be used on everyone.

The adjustable one-size HORSESHOETM ensures a secure fit in any situation, accommodating various patients and ETT positions with ease, standardizing ETT stabilization practices. 

ETTs sized 6.5 to 10mm
Patients with beards
Patients with facial trauma, facial pressure injuries or facial burns
Chemo patients with TENS
Emaciated patients

The HORSESHOETM significantly reduces the risk of medical device related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) on the face.

  • The HORSESHOETM does not rely on contact with facial skin or lips to anchor it in place.

  • The HORSESHOETM does not require the use of adhesives, tape, ties, straps or wires that contact the face or mucosa, preventing unwanted pressure points and irritation.

  • The smooth locking track allows easy and fast ET tube repositioning without any set stops.

  • Facial skin can easily be assessed and cleaned while the HORSESHOETM is in place.

  • HORSESHOETM does not require additional dressings or skin protectants.

The HORSESHOETM maintains a consistent 25mm opening in between the patient's incisors, facilitating oral cavity access.

This unfettered "workspace" allows for easier, safer and better oral assessments and more effective oral hygiene. 

 

Secure

6.5-10mm ETTs in all your patients, including those with:

Beards, TENS

Facial trauma or burns

Copious oral secretions

Safely reduce the risk of unplanned extubation and reintubation.

Prevent

Ineffective oral hygiene due to lack of consistent access to the oral cavity caused by device "crowding" and/or the patient biting ET tube or the caregiver.

Device-related facial and mucosal pressure injuries without compromising ETT security. 

Comply

With 2022 “Essential Practices”
to prevent VAP and VAEs by enabling toothbrushing and reducing the risk of reintubation.

With NPIAP 2019 Internatinal Guidelines for Device-Related Pressure Injury Prevention by eliminating pressure on the face.
