Sklar 78-3460 ENT Tracheal 3 Blade Dilator Laborde 3VLV 6" Preowned

Sklar 78-3460 ENT Tracheal 3 Blade Dilator Laborde 3VLV 6" Preowned

Part of the globally recognized Sklar ENT and airway management portfolio, this Laborde-pattern dilator features a specialized mechanical three-bladed jaw assembly (referenced across surgical registries via the 3VLV or three-valve index). Unlike traditional two-bladed models, the three-pronged layout spreads expansion forces across three independent directions simultaneously, maximizing the circular stoma window while lowering localized cartilage tearing or mucosal shearing. Operating via a spring-tempered ring grip mechanism, squeezing the handles pivots the curved working tips outward, creating a rigid structural tunnel that allows the surgeon to safely introduce a tracheostomy tube without collapsing the tracheal rings.
