The TacMed™ Tracheal Hook uses a design that has been trusted by
medical professionals for over 100 years. Based on the Jackson Tenaculum
Hook Retractor, this scaled-down version is perfect for the tactical
health care provider. By providing positive control of the trachea, this
device greatly increases the success rate of crichothyroidotomies in
austere environments. The tapered design of the hook minimizes its
profile at the incision site, providing the operator with the maximum
level of visibility in low light and stressful situations. Its smooth
edges also minimize damage to surrounding tissues when tension is
applied.
Hook Length: 4 inches.
