Cook Medical G53177 - TRAY, BLUE RHINO, PERCUTANEOUS, INTRODUCER, EACH
Ciaglia Blue Rhino G2 Advanced Percutaneous Tracheostomy Introducer Tray
Blue Rhino G2 is a percutaneous tracheostomy introducer that enables full dilatation of the stoma in just one pass. The device's crosshatch handle helps enhance the operator's grip to improve procedural control, while longitudinal grooves on the distal surface help facilitate a less forceful insertion. With these unique design features and a comprehensive procedural tray, Blue Rhino G2 provides you with a simple, effective solution for bedside percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) procedures.
Intended Use
The Ciaglia Blue Rhino G2 Advanced Percutaneous Tracheostomy Introducer Tray is intended for percutaneous dilational tracheostomy for management of the airway in adults only. Tube placement, using the technique described herein, should be performed in a controlled setting (e.g., ICU or operating room) with the assistance of trained personnel.
