Laborde Tracheal Dilator Forceps 3 Prong 12 CM Surgical OB/Gynecology Instrument

The Laborde Tracheal Dilator Forceps with a 3-prong design and a length of 12 cm is a specialized surgical instrument used primarily in the fields of obstetrics (OB) and gynecology (Gyne). It is a tool that facilitates tracheal dilation during surgical procedures, particularly those involving the airway or trachea.

Here are key features of the Laborde Tracheal Dilator Forceps (3-Prong, 12 cm):

1. Design:

   • Three-prong tips that help to effectively and gently dilate the trachea.
   • The 3 prongs allow for a wider area of dilation compared to single-prong or traditional instruments, providing a more controlled and gradual expansion.

2. Material:

   • Typically made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization.

3. Usage:

   • Used to dilate the trachea during procedures, which may include airway management or certain gynecological surgeries that involve airway manipulation.
   • The instrument is used for opening or widening a narrowed passage, typically in cases of tracheal stenosis or other conditions requiring tracheal dilation.

4. Size:

   • The forceps are 12 cm long, making them compact yet effective for precision in delicate surgical environments.
   • The relatively small size also allows for good control in procedures where precision is key.

5. Applications:

   • Common in OB/Gynecological surgeries, especially in situations where airway manipulation is required for intubation or airway access.
   • May be used in more complex cases involving the respiratory tract and organs within the thoracic region.

6. Ease of Use:

   • The 3-prong feature provides better control, and the instrument is designed to prevent injury during dilation, making it a vital tool for professionals.
