Frimed 12 cm Trousseau dilator – Reliability and control for tracheotomy
The Frimed 12 cm Trousseau dilator is a surgical instrument used primarily during tracheotomy procedures to widen the tracheal opening in a safe and controlled manner. This device is distinguished by its characteristic curved shape and ergonomic handles with rings, making it easy to grip and handle with one hand if necessary. The precision manufacturing of this model ensures gradual and symmetrical opening, limiting the risk of tissue trauma.
Its length of 12 cm allows for effective intervention in the cervical region without compromising visibility or manoeuvrability. The stainless steel used in its design is perfectly suited to surgical environments thanks to its robustness, sterilisability and resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. This steel meets current standards for reusable instruments, ensuring durability and optimal hygiene throughout its use.
This Trousseau model is particularly popular in ENT surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care, for emergency access to the airways. It can be used in conjunction with trocars or tracheal cannulas, particularly in the initial stages of the procedure, where gentle and precise dilation is essential to prepare for the insertion of the ventilation device.
It remains a preferred choice in many hospital protocols due to its functional simplicity and reliability.
