The distinctive feature of the Tracoe P-tubes is the minimally traumatic placement of the tracheostomy tube after percutaneous dilation tracheostomy. The tracheostomy tubes are supplied already mounted on their minimally traumatic insertion systems (P-tubes).
There is a foldable silicone sleeve at the tip of the inserter or insertion system to smoothly bridge the gap in diameter between the inserter and the end of the tube. They are supplied already pre-mounted on the respective minimally traumatic inserter or insertion system, which are adapted to the specific tube size, shape, and length. The P-tubes, which are available separately, can be used, in combination with a Seldinger guide wire for reinsertion or tube replacement.
Tracoe Twist Plus P-tube with minimally traumatic insertion system
The inner cannula of the Tracoe Twist Plus P-tube is already in place which saves one step in the process and therefore time. The ventilation circuit can be attached directly onto the 15 mm connector of the inner cannula after the tube placement.
The insertion system for Tracoe Twist Plus consists of two parts: the white guiding catheter with silicone sleeve and the green inserter. Once the tube is in the trachea, the colored inserter, the white guiding catheter with the silicone sleeve, and the Seldinger guide wire are removed together as a single unit. The silicone sleeve flaps back and the unit can be removed.
