Schoenborn Tracheal Retractor

Description

Schoenborn Tracheal Retractor

The Schoenborn tracheal retractor is a hand-held retractor for tracheostomy. Surgeons use it to hold the wound open and to control the trachea while they create the opening.

A long reach at 20 cm

This pattern measures 20 cm, which puts the grip well away from the neck. As a result, the assistant can hold it without crowding the operator. The length also helps in patients with a deep neck.

What it does in surgery

During tracheostomy, the surgeon exposes the trachea through a small incision. Then the retractor keeps the tissue apart or steadies the tracheal wall. That control helps while the surgeon places a dilator or tube.

One size in stock

We sell the Schoenborn pattern in one 20 cm size. If you need exact tip dimensions, ask us before ordering. We would rather send the true figures than guess at them.

Pairing it with other tools

Most tracheostomy trays hold two or three hooks with different reaches. For instance, a shorter hook can work beside this longer one. A tracheal dilator also belongs close by.

Caring for your Schoenborn tracheal retractor

Rinse off blood before it dries on the hook. Next, scrub the working end with a soft brush and check it for bends. Dry the retractor, then sterilize it according to your unit’s routine.
