About Percutaneous Tracheostomy Kit
Percutaneous Tracheostomy Kit
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a commonly performed procedure in critically sick patients. This has resulted in decline in the use of surgical tracheostomy in intensive care unit (ICU) except in few selected cases. Most common indication of tracheostomy in ICU is need for prolonged ventilation.
Comprehensive and Sterile All-in-One KitThis kit comes individually packaged and ethylene oxide-sterilized, ensuring a high standard of infection control. Each pack includes all required components for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: tracheostomy tube, introducer needle, guidewire, atraumatic dilator, scalpel, syringe, tracheal hook, and cleaning brush. The complete set supports a streamlined and efficient workflow in critical care settings.
Safety and Minimally Invasive TechniqueEngineered for patient safety, the kit features a soft, atraumatic dilator tip, a low-pressure cuff to reduce tracheal injury, and components that help minimize risk of false passage or complications. The percutaneous dilatational technique delivers minimally invasive tracheal access, making the procedure faster and less traumatic for both adults and children.
Designed for Versatile Clinical EnvironmentsIdeal for various hospital settings, including the ICU, operating rooms, and emergency situations, this portable kit provides high clinical accuracy wherever an airway must be established. Its user-friendly and ergonomic design suits bedside use, supporting real-time, manual operation and compatible with standard ventilator connections.
