Sklar Uckermann Trachea Trocar, 7.5mm Tip
A 5 inch trachea trocar with a 7.5mm tip, used to create a controlled opening in the trachea during emergency or surgical airway procedures.
The Sklar Uckermann Trachea Trocar is used to create a controlled puncture through the tracheal wall as part of establishing a surgical airway. Its sharp tip allows a single, deliberate puncture rather than a more prolonged dissection, which matters in situations where airway access needs to be secured quickly.
5 millimetre tip diameter sets the size of the opening created, matching it to the tube or cannula that will follow. At five inches overall, this listing spans two configurations of the pattern, giving clinicians options across slightly different sizes or tip finishes. Instruments of this kind are used in emergency medicine, anaesthesia and ENT surgery whenever a surgical airway or tracheostomy needs to be established, whether electively in theatre or urgently at the bedside.
Emergency physicians, anaesthetists and ENT surgeons are the typical users. As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between patients following the facility's protocol for sharp airway instruments.
