Frequently asked questions
Is this tracheostomy tube built for long-term use?
Yes. This device is constructed from durable stainless steel and is specifically designated as a reusable medical instrument, ensuring longevity and suitability for ongoing patient respiratory care.
How secure is the inner cannula locking system?
The set features an improved Jackson style locking mechanism. A rotating lock on the inner cannula interacts with a nub on the faceplate, providing a secure, reliable connection that holds the cannula firmly in place during use.
Is the inner cannula easy to remove for cleaning?
Absolutely. The “improved style” design features a cross-serrated rotating lock that is not flush with the faceplate. This provides a secure grip, allowing for easy and intuitive removal of the inner cannula for necessary cleaning or replacement.
Can I attach respiratory equipment to this set?
Yes, this set includes a specialized inner cannula equipped with a 15mm adaptor. This allows for the direct connection of additional medical respiratory devices, such as nebulizers or resuscitation equipment.

Yes, patient safety is prioritized; this tracheostomy tube is not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
