Sakamoto Tracheotomy Trainer

Practical trainer for various methods of tracheotomy

Training of both conventional and percutaneous tracheotomy and puncture/incision into the cricothyroid ligament is available.

For conventional tracheotomy, different types of incisions can be performed including longitudinal, transverse, crucial, U-shaped, and inverted U-shaped. Simulating a patient in a supine position with the neck extended, the tracheotomy trainer allows the user to determine the proper incision site while identifying arterial locations, and to observe intratracheal conditions from the head.

The trachea can be reused by turning it upside down or inside out, and the skin by sliding it to either side or turning it upside down. Contents: the main body, neck (with arteries), thyroid cartilage (with cricoid cartilage), trachea (four pieces), skin (four sheets), and lubricant (silicone oil).

Features:

• More than one times incision is possible
• Identification of arterial locations
• Observation of intratracheal conditions

Practice:

• Conventional tracheotomy
• Percutaneous tracheotomy
• Puncture/incision of the cricothyroid ligament
