Tracheostomy tube obturator

A tracheostomy tube obturator is a device used to guide and protect the tracheostomy tube during insertion into the tracheal stoma. It fills the lumen of the tube to prevent tissue damage and facilitate smooth placement, then is removed once the tube is correctly positioned.

This category includes reusable devices typically constructed from high-grade stainless steel, silver, or silver-plated brass, featuring a rounded distal tip and a handle for removal. These devices are regulated as medical devices and supplied for clinical use in airway management procedures.
