Sklar Nelson Trocar, 8-1/4 Inch, 25 French
An 8-1/4 inch surgical trocar from Sklar used to establish a controlled entry point for drainage tubing, supplied with a choice of four tip sizes.
The Sklar Nelson Trocar is a pointed surgical instrument used to puncture tissue and create a controlled channel through which a drainage tube or catheter can be introduced. Surgeons use trocars of this kind when fluid or air needs to be drained from a body cavity, guiding the sharp tip through tissue before withdrawing it and leaving the passage open for the tube to follow.
This listing measures 8-1/4 inches overall and is available with four different tip sizes, numbered one through four, allowing the clinician to match the trocar to the catheter size required for a given case. The 25 French sizing on the number one tip indicates the diameter of catheter it is intended to accommodate.
Trocars are a standard component of thoracic, abdominal and general surgical instrument sets used wherever tube drainage is part of the procedure, and hospitals stock a range of tip sizes to cover different clinical situations.
