Clinical Application
Designed for definitive airway management in patients with a tracheostoma, this curved tracheostomy tube is used to maintain a patent airway, enable mechanical ventilation or manual assisted ventilation, and provide direct access for suctioning and pulmonary toilet. Its configuration is suited for postoperative tracheostomy care, long-term airway maintenance, and situations requiring a durable, non-kinking lumen.
Design & Configuration
The Figure 3 curvature follows the natural axis from stoma to trachea to minimize kinking and reduce medial pressure on the tracheal wall. A rigid, anatomically oriented curve facilitates straightforward insertion and stable positioning in the tracheal lumen while permitting unobstructed access for suction catheters and bronchoscopic inspection when clinically indicated. The 7 mm nominal bore is selected to balance airflow capacity with stoma anatomy in adult patients.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Tracheostomy (trachea) tube
- Pattern / model: Jackson Fig.3
- Configuration: Curved (Figure 3)
- Size: 7 mm
- Typical use: Airway maintenance, ventilation support, suctioning through tracheostoma
- Material / construction: Stainless steel, reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from precision-formed stainless steel to provide a durable, rigid lumen that resists kinking and deformation. Constructed for repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles, the tube is intended for reusable clinical service where metal tracheostomy tubes are preferred for long-term or frequent-use scenarios.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
