Jackson Trachea Retractor: Precision for Advanced Airway Management
The Jackson Trachea Retractor 17cm from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for Otolaryngologists and emergency surgeons. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this retractor is specifically designed to provide stable exposure of the trachea, facilitating safe incisions and tube placement in both elective and emergency airway procedures.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Jackson retractor undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum corrosion resistance and durability. The hook-shaped tip is meticulously contoured to engage the tracheal rings securely. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the 17cm length provides the perfect leverage for retracting overlying strap muscles and the thyroid isthmus.
Surgical Applications
- Tracheostomy: Used to retract the tracheal rings superiorly or inferiorly to allow for the insertion of a tracheostomy tube.
- Emergency Cricothyrotomy: Provides the necessary exposure to establish an emergency airway in obstructed patients.
- Laryngeal Surgery: Assists in the retraction of soft tissues to provide a clearer view of the laryngeal structures.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the integrity of the retractor tip, it should be cleaned using pH-neutral detergents and soft-bristled brushes. It is fully autoclavable and designed for high-frequency clinical reuse. Immediate drying after the sterilization cycle is recommended to prevent mineral deposits on the satin finish. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
