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 #8 stopper and provides full closure. It is latex-free.

Frequently asked questions

Is this stopper safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is explicitly manufactured to be latex-free. It is designed without the use of natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities or allergies to latex.

Does this stopper offer a full closure design?

Absolutely. Unlike external caps, this model features a full closure stopper design that fits securely inside the inner or outer cannula. This design is specifically engineered to facilitate the initial stages of the decannulation process effectively.

Is this a reusable medical device?

Yes, this stopper is built for reusable application. Its durable plastic construction ensures longevity and reliable performance throughout multiple uses, offering better value than disposable alternatives.

Does the design prioritize patient comfort?

Yes, the stopper is designed with a smooth working edge and a round tip configuration. These features are specifically included to help ensure the device can be inserted and handled safely and comfortably.

Does this product meet high manufacturing standards?

Yes, this stopper is manufactured by Sklar, a trusted name in medical instrumentation. It is TAA compliant (Trade Agreements Act), ensuring it meets rigorous standards for quality and regulatory compliance.

Is the material durable enough for frequent handling?

The stopper is constructed from high-quality, durable plastic. This material selection balances the need for a lightweight design—weighing only 0.01 pounds—with the necessary sturdiness to maintain structural integrity during the decannulation sequence.

What is the primary purpose of this stopper?

Does this come sterile out of the box?

This product is supplied as non-sterile. Please ensure that standard medical protocols for cleaning and sterilization appropriate for reusable plastic devices are followed prior to patient use.

Each unit is supplied individually (Unit of Measure: 1 each). This allows for precise inventory control and ensures you can order exactly the amount needed for your clinical requirements.

Is there a long-term quality guarantee?

Yes, Sklar stands behind the craftsmanship of this instrument with a lifetime warranty. This commitment provides long-term assurance regarding the quality and durability of the stopper.
