Description

Sklar's Jackson Improved Style Tracheostomy Tube consists of one obturator, an inner cannula with attached adaptor, 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 #4 tracheostomy tube with a 15mm adapter. It is curved with an outer cannula diameter of 8mm, and inner cannula diameter of 5.8mm, and an overall length of 62mm.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tube utilize medical-grade stainless steel?

Yes, the Sklar Jackson Improved Tracheostomy Tube is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel. This durable construction ensures the device is robust enough for repeated clinical use.

Is the inner cannula easy to handle during cleaning?

Absolutely. The improved design simplifies maintenance by removing the traditional “wings” on the inner cannula. The cross-serrated rotating lock also provides an ergonomic, firm grip for safer manipulation and removal by the caregiver.

How secure is the connection between the cannulas?

Security is prioritized through a specialized nub locking mechanism on the faceplate. This pairs with the rotating lock on the inner cannula to ensure the device remains securely in place while allowing for quick, controlled adjustments.

Does the design support standard ventilation equipment?

Yes, the device features an integrated 15mm adapter, which is the industry standard size, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of external ventilation and respiratory support equipment.

Is this device free from natural rubber latex?

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

1 x Outer Cannula (featuring a neck plate with side slots for secure strapping)

1 x Obturator (to facilitate gentle, safe insertion)

Does the tube have a slim profile for patient comfort?

Yes. By removing the “wings” from the inner cannula and ensuring it is not flush with the faceplate, the design has been streamlined for a cleaner, low-profile fit that is less cumbersome for the patient.
