Portex^® GRIGGS^® Percutaneous Dilation Tracheostomy Kit (International)

The Portex^® GRIGGS^® Percutaneous Dilation Tracheostomy Kits feature guidewire dilating forceps, central to the Griggs^™ PDT technique, for smoothly opening the tracheal aperture.

The Portex^® Griggs^™ PDT kit is available in three options:

Portex^® GRIGGS^® Percutaneous Dilation Tracheostomy Kit with Blue Line Ultra^® Tracheostomy Tubes

• Tapered tip intended to ease passage into stoma
• Clear, soft flange and Profile Soft-Seal^® cuff

• Low pressure, high volume cuffed tracheostomy tube or adjustable flange tracheostomy tube

• Integral suction lumen to aid removal of secretions from above the cuff
• Clear, soft flange and Profile Soft-Seal^® cuff

• Guidewire dilating forceps produce the desired opening in one fluid motion, compared with single stage dilators which typically require repeated forward and backward movement.
• Spreading the jaws of the guidewire dilating forceps applies force laterally across the anterior tracheal wall, intended to cause reduced trauma to tracheal structures.

• Perform the procedure at the point of care (ICU/CCU), when you and your patient are ready - no waiting.
• Patients receive tubes and the related therapeutic benefits sooner than with surgical placement.

• No need to tie up valuable surgical suite time, staff and resources.
• Two operators (minimum)- one for the procedure and an assistant to maintain the patient's airway and control the bronchoscope.
• Patient preparation, procedure and recovery all in one location.
