More Information
Summary:A device for facilitating tracheotomy includes a first branch (14), which is adapted to be introduced down the trachea of a patient, such that the end thereof is located below the larynx, and a second branch (12), adapted to be arranged on the outside of the neck with the end thereof located adjacent to the site intended for the tracheostoma. The end of the second branch has a guiding tube for a needle, and the end of the first branch has a protection plate. When the needle is moved towards the skin through the guiding tube and penetrates the skin and tracheal wall in order to provide the tracheostoma, the needle is directed towards the protection plate, and may engage it after passage through the tracheal wall. In such a manner the other side of the tracheal wall is protected. Furthermore, the tracheostoma will automatically be located at the best position. The first branch (14) includes hooks (30, 31), adapted to slidingly engage with a tube (40) in trachea, the hooks being located close to the distal end of the first branch (14), for directing said first branch along said tube.
