Cook Medical G36118 - INTRODUCER, PERCUTA, TRACH, DOLPHIN, 26FR, EACH
Dolphin BT Ciaglia Balloon-Assisted Tracheostomy Introducer Tray
Increase efficiency and maximise control with balloon-assisted tracheostomy (BAT)
Dolphin BT is the first device to combine stoma formation and tracheal tube insertion into a simple and efficient one-step procedure: balloon-assisted tracheostomy (BAT). It was designed specifically to maximize operator control and help prevent trauma to the anterior tracheal wall and surrounding structures. Like percutaneous tracheostomy, BAT can be performed at the patient's bedside and yields comparable cost savings.

Balloon-Assisted Tracheostomy Procedural Benefits
- Reduced risk of trauma
- Prevention of airway leakage and blood aerosolization
- Improved preservation of tissue elasticity
- Efficiency and convenience for clinicians
Benefits in Detail
Reduced Risk of Trauma
Balloon provides even and controlled radial dilation, improving procedural safety by minimising the risk of trauma to the anterior tracheal wall and its surrounding structures and eliminating the need to incise or resect tracheal rings.
Prevention of Airway Leakage and Aerosolisation
Dolphin BT is inserted in one simple pass and fits securely within the trachea during dilation, reducing the opportunity for airway leakage and blood aerosolisation that can occur during dissection with a multistep, open procedure.
Improved Preservation of Tissue Elasticity
Following radial dilation, tissue conforms to the tracheostomy tube, creating a tight fit that helps prevent airway leakage, accidental dislodgment and bleeding.
Efficiency and Convenience for Operator
Simple one-step device is easy to control and optimises procedure time - a significant benefit when operating on critically ill patients.
Bedside Procedure
Ability to perform the procedure bedside eliminates high OR costs, scheduling conflicts and safety risks during transport, allowing more efficient management of your patient population.
