I guess there are a couple of different kinds of them. The one you suggested is for suctioning out a T tube. What I understand them to be is for suctioning out the nairs and mouth. Here's a pic: www.colemcgee.com/photos.asp?moyr=082005 I just got this off the internet when I did a search. I can get more info on them if you'd like.
Thanks so much. That pic was exactly how/what I thot. It had been presented (verbally) to my daughter (adopting 4/y old w/trach) as something really different - it's just a short version of what we used on Jasmine 20 years ago!!
