Frequently asked questions
Is this made of high-quality, durable materials?
Yes, the Sklar Jackson Original Tracheostomy Tube is constructed from premium-grade stainless steel. This material ensures that the device is robust enough for repeated use and consistent sterilization, offering a long-lasting, reliable solution for medical professionals.
Does the inner cannula feature an easy-removal design?
Absolutely. The inner cannula is specifically designed with side ‘wings’ to provide a secure grip, making it straightforward to withdraw the component for regular cleaning or quick replacement.
How secure is the inner cannula during use?
The faceplate is equipped with a specialized swivel locking mechanism. This ensures that once the inner cannula is inserted, it remains securely seated and locked in position, preventing accidental displacement during patient care.
What components come with this system?
This is a complete 3-piece system that includes everything necessary for airway management: an obturator for guiding the tube during insertion, an outer cannula to maintain the airway opening, and an inner cannula for easy maintenance.
Is this tube free from natural rubber latex?
Yes, the Sklar Jackson Original Tracheostomy Tube #0 is not made with natural rubber latex. This makes it an appropriate choice for patients with latex sensitivities.
Does this require sterilization before the first use?
Yes, this device is supplied non-sterile. Because it is designed for reusability, it must undergo proper sterilization according to your facility’s protocols before being used.

What is the function of the included obturator?

Is this suitable for professional medical environments?
