Description

Sklar's Decannulation Stopper is a plug used at the beginning of the decannulation process when a patient is no longer relying on the tracheotomy tube to breathe. Unlike a decannulation cap, which is placed over the tracheotomy tube, a stopper fits inside the inner or outer cannula. The outer cannula typically remains inserted when the decannulation process begins, in the event the patient has difficulty breathing through his mouth or nose and requires to begin breathing again through the tube. This product is a size #2 stopper and provides full closure. It is latex-free.

Frequently asked questions

Is this stopper designed for multiple uses?

Yes, the Sklar Decannulation Stopper #2 features a reusable design. It is constructed from durable plastic intended for repeated use, providing long-term value compared to disposable alternatives.

Is this material safe for patients with sensitivities?

Absolutely. This stopper is completely latex-free, manufactured without any natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Does this provide a complete seal during decannulation?

Yes, it is specifically engineered for full closure capability. It fits securely inside the inner or outer cannula to seal the tube, helping facilitate the patient’s transition to normal oral or nasal breathing.

Unlike caps that fit externally, this stopper is designed to be inserted directly into the inner or outer cannula of the tracheotomy tube, ensuring a precise and flush fit for effective sealing.

Can the patient revert to tube breathing if needed?

Yes, that is a key benefit of this design. While the stopper provides full closure for normal breathing practice, it allows the patient to revert to breathing through the tube easily if any respiratory difficulty occurs.
