Description

Sklar's Jackson Improved Style Tracheostomy Tube consists of one obturator, an inner cannula, and an outer cannula. These three pieces work together to ensure that you can breathe properly following a tracheal incision. The obturator is used to safely and gently place the outer cannula into the incision and into the trachea. The outer cannula is the part of the device which keeps the actual incision in the neck open. The neck plate, which is attached to the outer cannula, is where the side slots are located for tying or strapping the tube around the patient's neck, as well as part of the locking mechanism. Once the outer cannula is secured, the obturator is removed and the inner cannula is inserted. The Jackson improved style features a small nub locking mechanism on the faceplate that works with a rotating lock on the inner cannula to secure it in place. The improved style inner cannula does not have "wings." It is removed from the outer cannula by simply grasping the rotating lock, which can easily be done because it is not flush with the faceplate, as is the top of the inner cannula on the original style device. A portion of the rotating lock is also cross-serrated so it can be gripped firmly and securely removed. This product is the #8 regular length tracheostomy tube. It is curved with an outer cannula diameter of 12mm, and inner cannula diameter of 9.5mm, and an overall length of 69mm.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tube offer a secure locking system?

Yes, this device features an improved locking mechanism. Instead of traditional “wings,” it utilizes a specialized nub on the faceplate that pairs with a rotating lock on the inner cannula to ensure secure, reliable placement.

Is this tracheostomy tube built to be reusable?

Yes, it is designed for long-term clinical use. It is crafted from high-quality, durable stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization cycles. Please note that it is provided as a non-sterile device and requires appropriate sterilization protocols before each use.

How simple is it to remove the inner cannula?

The design prioritizes clinical efficiency. The rotating lock features cross-serrated grips, allowing for firm handling and simplified, quick removal from the outer cannula, even in high-pressure clinical environments.

Is this device safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar Jackson Improved Tracheostomy Tube is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

What components are included in the set?

Each purchase provides a complete clinical setup, consisting of:

1 x Outer Cannula
1 x Inner Cannula
1 x Obturator (used to assist with safe initial insertion)

Does the design prioritize secure neck attachment?

Absolutely. The outer cannula includes an integrated neck plate featuring elongated side slots, which allow for secure strapping or tying around the patient’s neck for stability.

Are the dimensions standardized for size #8?
