Jackson Original Tracheostomy Tube Overview
The Jackson Metal Tracheostomy Tube – Original is placed in the stoma tracheal opening for airway management. This Jackson trach includes an obturator with a smooth, rounded tip that protects the inside of the airway during insertion. The Jackson style refers to the tubes metal construction without a cuff design. A plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tracheostomy tube is a common choice used today because of its pliable structure. However, the Teleflex stainless steel Jackson tube is available for patients who received a tracheostomy years ago and want to continue with this style. To aid the comfort, the Jackson Original Style Tracheostomy Tube gradually tapers starting from the proximal to the distal tip.
