Clinical Application
This Krishaber-pattern tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a secure airway through a tracheostomy stoma and to maintain tracheal access for ventilation, suctioning, or pulmonary toilet. The 4 mm nominal diameter is appropriate for small pediatric or infant airways where a reduced lumen is required. It is used in surgical tracheostomy procedures and in postoperative or long-term airway management when a rigid metal tube is preferred.
Design & Configuration
The short, curved Krishaber configuration follows the anterior tracheal curvature to facilitate alignment with the tracheal axis and to reduce kinking at the stoma. The compact profile helps minimize external protrusion at the neck, improving patient comfort and stoma site management. The curvature also aids secure positioning and predictable orientation for suctioning and tube care.
