Frequently asked questions
Is this tube built for long-term repeated use?
Yes, this is a reusable medical device crafted from high-quality stainless steel. It is engineered specifically for durability and repeated clinical use, rather than being a single-use or disposable product.
Is the inner cannula easy to secure during use?
Absolutely. The device features a specialized swivel lock mechanism integrated into the faceplate. This lock swivels upward over the inner cannula, providing a firm and secure fit to ensure it stays in place during operation.
Does this tube include everything needed for initial setup?
Yes, the kit is a complete three-piece system designed for immediate clinical application. It includes:
- Outer Cannula: Maintains the incision site.
- Inner Cannula: Allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Obturator: Assists in the initial, gentle insertion of the tube.
Are the materials safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, the Sklar Jackson Original Tracheostomy Tube is explicitly manufactured without natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.
How can I easily remove the inner cannula?
The inner cannula is thoughtfully designed with side ‘wings’ near the proximal end. These wings provide an ergonomic grip, allowing for straightforward and efficient extraction when cleaning or replacement is required.
Is this device manufactured to high regulatory standards?
Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for medical instrumentation. It is a factory-new, high-grade surgical instrument designed for reliable performance in clinical environments.
How should I secure the tube around the neck?
The attached neck plate on the outer cannula includes side slots specifically designed for threading ties or straps, allowing you to securely and comfortably anchor the tube to the patient.
What is the primary function of the included obturator?
The obturator is a specialized tool included to facilitate the initial, gentle insertion of the outer cannula into the trachea. Once the outer cannula is properly placed, the obturator is withdrawn to allow for the insertion of the inner cannula.
What are the specific dimensions for the size #6 tube?
The #6 size designation conforms to the following precise measurements:
- Outer Cannula Diameter: 10.2mm
- Inner Cannula Diameter: 7.7mm
- Overall Length: 69mm
Does the product come with any long-term quality assurance?
Yes, Sklar stands behind the quality and craftsmanship of this medical instrument by offering a Lifetime Warranty on the device.
