Weerda Tracheotomy Spreader 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for open tracheostomy and tracheotomy procedures, this spreader provides stable retraction of the tracheal stoma to facilitate safe incision, tube placement, suctioning and suture placement. The self-retaining action frees the surgical team’s hands for instrument exchange, airway management and hemostasis, and is suitable for use in the operating room, procedure suites and controlled bedside tracheostomy settings.

Design & Configuration

The double-bladed lateral geometry applies balanced, atraumatic retraction to the edges of the tracheal opening, improving visibility of the anterior trachea without compressing surrounding soft tissues. The self-retaining/ratchet mechanism holds the chosen spread gently and securely, allowing incremental adjustment of wound exposure while maintaining a clear operative field. The 19 cm overall length provides working reach for adult neck anatomies while keeping the handle clear of the immediate surgical site.
