Bose Tracheal Retractor

Description

Bose Tracheal Retractor

The Bose tracheal retractor is a sharp tracheal hook for tracheostomy. Surgeons use it to fix and lift the trachea while they make the opening.

Sharp and side-specific

This hook has a sharp point that engages the tracheal wall firmly. It also comes in a right and a left version. So each assistant can work from their own side of the table.

Right and left

We sell the Bose pattern as Right or Left. The two mirror each other. Many teams order both, because the pair lets two people hold the trachea from opposite sides.

Size and use

The retractor measures 16 cm. That length gives enough reach for most adult necks while the grip stays comfortable. During the procedure, the hook holds the trachea until the tube is placed.

How to decide

First, consider how many assistants usually scrub for tracheostomy. If there is only one, a single side may be enough. Otherwise, a matched pair gives more flexibility.

Caring for your Bose tracheal retractor

Guard the sharp point while cleaning, since knocks can dull it. Rinse and brush the hook right after the case. Then dry it well and sterilize it, ideally with a tip protector.

Ordering Bose hooks

Bose hooks carry a three-year warranty that reaches any flaw in how we finished them. At our Atlanta desk, a person inspects each right or left hook by hand before dispatch. Check our frequently asked questions for order help. ASTM F899 is the steel standard we cite for surgical tools. Should you want blunt ends as well, see the Jackson trachea retractor. Also explore our ear, nose and throat category.

Bose hooks are strictly for professionals. Our care and sterilization page explains the photos of sided hooks and why stainless steel includes nickel. Transit times for Bose orders appear on the shipping page.
