Jackson Trachea Retractor D/E sharp 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure exposure of the anterior trachea and surrounding soft tissues, this retractor is used to retract tracheal rings and soft tissue during tracheostomy, laryngotracheal procedures and anterior neck dissections. The sharp hooks permit a reliable purchase on perichondrium or superficial tracheal cartilage to maintain controlled traction and improve visualization of the airway while the surgeon or assistant works.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended sharp-hook configuration allows the surgeon to place or alternate traction points without changing instruments. Sharp tips are intended to reduce slippage on slippery or mobile tissue, providing stable retraction during delicate airway exposure. The 18 cm length balances reach into the operative field with tactile control at the hand, facilitating precise adjustment of tension and position.
