LABORDE tracheal retractor: precision and reliability for ENT procedures
The Frimed LABORDE model is a robust tracheal retractor designed specifically for surgical procedures on the trachea and ENT procedures requiring unobstructed access to the upper airways. Made from medical-grade stainless steel, this device guarantees excellent corrosion resistance, effective sterilisation and durability suited to the demands of modern operating theatres.
Thanks to its triple-curved design and ring handles, the LABORDE allows for controlled and stable retraction, reducing unwanted movement and ensuring a clear surgical field. This configuration facilitates the visualisation and manipulation of deep anatomical structures, particularly during tracheotomies or the insertion of tracheal cannulas. The mouth is held open and the tissues are retracted with minimal trauma, contributing to patient safety.
The LABORDE stands out for its ergonomic shape, which conforms to the patient's anatomy and provides a comfortable grip for the practitioner, even during prolonged procedures. The 14 cm model is a popular standard in ENT surgery departments due to its efficiency and reliability. It is particularly used in emergency situations or during elective surgery involving the trachea.
The instrument has no complex detachable or moving parts, making it easy to clean and sterilise. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a surgery kit or emergency tray. It is compatible with autoclave sterilisation protocols.
Used in both hospitals and specialised clinics, Frimed's LABORDE is an indispensable tool for ENT surgeons and anaesthetists/resuscitators looking for a simple, reliable and effective solution for tracheal dilation. Thanks to its consistent performance, it is the benchmark choice in demanding medical environments.
