Iterson Tracheal Hook

SURTEX® Iterson Tracheal Hooks help surgeons to open airways in the front of the neck in cases of upper airway disease. In addition, patients can breathe through this opening instead of using tubes in the mouth. Surgeons use the hook to pull the edges of the neck opening during tube insertion. This prevents damaging the back of the airways with sharp forces. In addition, using the hook makes the trachea stable during deep incisions. We designed the handle with a long profile to enhance your dexterity and grip. Moreover, its angles prevent accidental slips and mistakes. The prongs have curved ends to avoid tissue tears and vessel injury. In addition, the tapering shafts allow you to see the underlying tissues clearly. You can place two hooks on both sides between the skin edges to keep the wound open. We make both sharp and blunt designs of SURTEX® Iterson Tracheal Hooks. They are 17 cm in size and have slender profiles so they can pass easily into small areas. SURTEX® Laborde and Trousseau dilators are also available for your convenience. SURTEX® Instruments manufacture hooks from premium grade stainless steel that you can depend on for years of efficient service in neck procedures.
