Chevalier – Jackson Tracheostomy Tubes

Description

Chevalier – Jackson Tracheostomy Tubes

The Chevalier Jackson tracheostomy tube is a classic metal tube pattern named after the American laryngologist Chevalier Jackson. Clinicians place it through a tracheostomy opening in the neck.

A long-standing metal pattern

Jackson described his metal tubes in the early twentieth century, and the pattern still appears in ENT catalogs today. Many surgeons know it by name. So it remains a familiar choice for teams that prefer reusable steel tubes.

Ten tube sizes

We list ten sizes that run from 4 mm up to 13 mm. That range lets a department cover small and large patients from one pattern. However, sizing depends on clinical judgment, so your team should confirm the right size for each patient.

Where it fits in practice

ENT and head and neck teams handle tracheostomy care in the operating room and on the ward. Some units keep a spare tube of the same size at the bedside. Also, a matching dilator and tracheal hooks often sit on the same tracheostomy tray.

Before you order

First, check which sizes your unit already uses. Next, ask us which parts come with each size if you need a specific set. We will answer with the details we have rather than guess.

Caring for your Chevalier Jackson tracheostomy tube

Follow your hospital’s reprocessing protocol for reusable airway devices. In general, rinse the tube soon after removal, then clean the lumen with a suitable brush. Dry it inside and out before sterilizing.

Ordering a tracheostomy tube

Jackson tubes from us come under a three-year warranty that deals with faulty workmanship. Our Atlanta team inspects each tube by hand before we seal the parcel. Sizing and delivery questions often have answers on our FAQ page. For steel quality we lean on ASTM F899, the reference for instrument alloys in surgery. Many buyers add a Trousseau trachea dilator to the same tray. Also, the ENT surgery section lists our other airway items.

Only professionals should buy Jackson tubes. Our care and sterilization guide explains our tube photos and what nickel does inside stainless alloys, and the shipping page covers how tracheostomy orders reach you.
