Frequently asked questions
Does this stopper offer a reliable, full-airway occlusion?
Yes, the Sklar Decannulation Stopper #9 is specifically engineered to provide full closure inside the inner or outer cannula. This ensures complete airway occlusion, allowing medical professionals to effectively monitor a patient’s ability to breathe naturally.
Is this product suitable for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This stopper is manufactured with 100% latex-free materials, meaning it is not made with natural rubber latex and is safe to use for patients with latex sensitivities.
Is this a durable, reusable medical instrument?
Yes, this is a reusable instrument designed for long-term utility in clinical settings. Because it is constructed from durable plastic, it can be sterilized and used multiple times for the staged decannulation process.
What is the recommended sterilization procedure before use?
The product arrives non-sterile. Before any clinical application, it is essential to follow your facility’s standard protocols for the sterilization of reusable plastic medical instruments.
Is this stopper designed for precise, secure fitting?
Yes, the size #9 specification ensures a snug and precise fit within the tracheostomy tube cannula, providing the stability required during the initial stages of decannulation.
Does this stopper meet government procurement standards?
Yes, this Sklar stopper is TAA compliant, meeting all necessary requirements for government procurement.
Can this be used for both inner and outer cannulas?
Yes, the design is versatile enough to be inserted directly into either the inner or outer cannula of a tracheotomy tube to achieve the desired airway closure.
How does this differ from a traditional decannulation cap?
Unlike an external cap that covers the end of the tube, this stopper is inserted internally into the cannula. This allows for a more direct and complete airway occlusion while keeping the option open to quickly re-establish breathing through the tube if needed.
Is the material quality suitable for medical-grade use?
Yes, this is an instrument-grade product manufactured by Sklar. It features a smooth, round tip to ensure patient comfort and ease of insertion while maintaining structural integrity.
Does the stopper come with a securement mechanism?
Yes, the design includes an integrated method for attachment—typically a cord or strap—which allows for secure handling and easy retrieval of the stopper from the cannula.
