The Innovation

The unique feature of the TRACOE experc Set twist for percutaneous tracheostomy is the atraumatic inserter for placing the tracheostomy tube. Its tip has a folding silicone sleeve that smoothly bridges over the gap in diameter between the inserter and the end of the tube. The inserter also excels with a precise fit into the tube and a stop at the level of the neck flange. Once the tube is in the trachea, the inserter is pulled out. The silicone sleeve flaps back to facilitate its removal as well.

The Benefits

• Dilation is performed using the proven Ciaglia technique.
• The atraumatic inserter smoothes over the jump in diameter between the end of the tube and the inserter. This minimizes the risk of injury when inserting the tracheostomy tube into the trachea.
• The stop at the level of the neck flange prevents the inserter from being inserted too far into the tube, which additionally reduces the risk of lesions.
• The separately available tubes with inserter can also be used to reinsert into a percutaneously created tracheostoma and/or change tubes.
