The Sklar News Trachael Hook is used for holding cartiledge out of the way during a tracheostomy.
- This product features a grooved, flat handle, 10 mm at its widest point, with a slight taper
- The handle extends 9 cm to a 2 mm round shaft extending 6 cm from the handle
- The hook tip curves downward 7 mm and tapers to a sharp, pointy tip
This instrument is similar to a Jackson tracheal hook, except that the holding hook and the handle hook face opposite directions (a Jackson tracheal hook features the working hook and the handle hook facing each other)
The choice of which instrument to use is determined primarily by user preference and comfort.
