Jackson Tracheal Retractor

The Jackson Tracheal Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 8.0 mm angled, sharp pointed tip engineered for secure tracheal engagement, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat-surfaced handle frame with lateral grip serrations, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 14 cm (approx. 5.5 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Jackson Tracheal Retractor is used in emergency and elective tracheostomies to hook and stabilize the tracheal cartilages, lifting the trachea into the wound opening for safe cannulation.

It is indicated for open surgical tracheostomy, cricothyroidotomy, tracheal stoma revision, emergency airway access, and pretracheal soft-tissue dissection.

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights and headlights.
