tracheostomy

Fig. 1 A collapsible sleeve at the introducer tip enables a uniques stepless transition between the inserter tip and the patient end of the tube.
Fig. 2 After the tube with atraumatic inserter is inserted into the trachea the inserter is pulled out. Thereby the silicone sleeve turns down and the inserter can be removed easily.

Percutaneous Dilation Tracheostomy Set

The Tracoe experc percutaneous dilation tracheostomy set is supplied with a Tracoe twist tracheostomy tube, either unfenestrated (REF 320) or fenestrated (REF 321), in sizes 07, 08 or 09. The tracheostomy tube for the Tracoe experc set includes an atraumatic inserter ensuring a stepless transition between inserter and end of the tube. The Tracoe twist tubes with atraumatic inserter (REF 301-P / REF 302-P) are also available separately.

Advantages

• The dilation is carried out according to the well-tried Ciaglia technique.
• The atraumatic inserter ensures a stepless transition between the inserter and the patient end of the tube. This minimizes the risk of injuring the trachea during tube insertion.
• The safety-stop at the neck flange on the atraumatic inserter, avoids insertion of the tube which is too deep thereby minimizing the risk of injury.
• The separately available Tracoe twist tracheostomy tubes with atraumatic inserter can also be used for re-insertion according to the Seldinger technique and / or for the change of tubes after percutaneous tracheostomy.
