Laborde Tracheal Dilator: Optimized Control for Airway Access
The Laborde Tracheal Dilator 14cm from Adas Instruments is a critical component of every tracheostomy tray and emergency airway kit. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this Laborde Tracheal Dilator 14cm is designed to spread the tracheal rings evenly, creating a clear and stable passage for the insertion of a tracheostomy tube without causing cartilage fracture.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Laborde Tracheal Dilator 14cm undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and corrosion resistance. Unlike standard two-pronged dilators, the Laborde pattern utilizes a triple-tip design that distributes pressure more effectively across the tracheal wall. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the spring-action handle provides smooth, predictable resistance for the surgeon.
Surgical Applications
- Tracheostomy: Used to dilate the incision between the second and third tracheal rings to facilitate tube placement.
- Emergency Airway Management: Essential for maintaining a patent stoma in acute clinical scenarios.
- Stoma Revision: Assists in the expansion of narrowed or stenosed tracheostomy sites during tube changes.
Care and Maintenance Section
To ensure the spring and pivot joint remain in optimal condition, the instrument should be cleaned in the open position. It is highly recommended to apply medical-grade lubricant to the pivot screw before autoclaving to prevent friction wear. It is fully reusable and resistant to high-temperature sterilization. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
People Also Ask
What is the advantage of the three prongs on the Laborde Dilator?
The three-pronged design provides a more circular and stable dilation of the trachea compared to two-pronged dilators, which can cause the incision to become slit-like and difficult to navigate.
Is this instrument suitable for pediatric use?
While used primarily for adults, the 14cm Laborde is versatile; however, for very small pediatric patients, a specialized neonatal tracheal dilator may be preferred.
How does the spring-loaded handle help during surgery?
The spring ensures the instrument returns to a closed position automatically, allowing the surgeon to operate the dilator with one hand while using the other for tube placement.
