(REF 520)
for Percutaneous Tracheostomy
General Information
The TRACOE
®
experc sets for percutaneous
tracheostomy are used for the percutaneous inser-
tion of a tracheostomy tube applying the one-step
dilation technique according to the Ciagla method
with the Seldinger guide wire.
REF 320, 321, 322, 888-322, 330, 331, 332, 888-332,
420, 421, 422, 423, 424 and 425 each consists of a
separately packed dilation set, containing an equip-
ment for the percutaneous placement of a tracheo-
stoma, and an individually packed tube set with
atraumatic inserter (twist) or atraumatic insertion
system (twist plus/vario). Both sets are supplied
either together in one combined outer package or
separately.
The dilation set can be obtained separately as
REF 520. It can be used in combination with all
the TRACOE tube sets with REF numbers ending
with the suffix P. The suffix –P means that a pre-
assembled atraumatic inserter (twist) or an atrau-
matic insertion system (twist plus/vario) and acces-
sories for percutaneous tracheostomy are supplied
with the tracheostomy tube.
The atraumatic inserter or atraumatic insertion sys-
tem ensures a stepless transition of the conical tip of
the inserter to the tube. This facilitates the introduc-
t
ion of the tracheostomy tube and avoids trauma to
t
he trachea (fracture of the tracheal rings).
For the tube sets with TRACOE
®
twist tubes (REF
301-P, 302-P, 306-P and 888-306-P) the stepless
transition is achieved using a radiopaque, collapsi-
b
le silicone sleeve, which is attached to the tip of the
inserter.
For the tube sets with TRACOE
®
twist plus/vario
tubes (REF 311-P, 312-P, 316-P, 888-316-P, 450-P,
4
51-P, 460-P, 461-P, 470-P and 471-P) the radi-
opaque, collapsible silicone sleeve is located on the
guiding catheter, which is pre-fitted and enclosed
with the P-tube. Thus the inserter and the guiding
catheter with silicone sleeve together make up the
atraumatic insertion system.
