Description
Uckermann Tracheal Trocar
The Uckermann tracheal trocar is a trocar pattern for gaining access to the trachea. ENT and head and neck surgeons keep it among their airway instruments.
What a trocar is
A trocar is a pointed instrument designed to pierce tissue and create a passage. In airway work, that passage leads into the trachea. The surgeon then continues with the rest of the procedure through it.
Two sizes
We list this trocar in 7.5 mm and 9 mm. So you can choose the diameter that matches your technique and the tubes you stock. If you need other measurements, contact us for the details.
A specialist airway item
Few trays need this instrument every day. However, departments that manage complex airways often keep one ready. It also sits alongside dilators and tracheal hooks in some tracheostomy sets.
Selecting a size
First, compare the two diameters with the tubes and cannulas your unit uses. Then order the size that fits your workflow. When in doubt, ask our team before you place the order.
Caring for your Uckermann tracheal trocar
Protect the point while you clean, because it must stay sharp to work well. Rinse the trocar soon after use and brush any channels gently. Next, dry every part and sterilize it with the point guarded.

Ordering your trocar
Should an Uckermann trocar reveal a workmanship error, our three-year warranty covers it. We check the point by hand in Atlanta before any trocar leaves. Order, payment and delivery answers appear on our FAQ page. Trocar steel should follow ASTM F899, which sets out alloys for surgical use. To widen the tracheal opening afterwards, many teams use our Trousseau dilator. Also browse our ENT instruments range.
Trocars like this are for professional hands only. The care and sterilization guide explains how we photograph trocars and why stainless steel contains nickel. See the returns page for return rules.
