Sklar 78-3460 ENT Tracheal 3 Blade Dilator Laborde 3VLV 6" Used
Sklar Laborde Tracheal Dilator | Model 78-3460 | Three-Bladed Curved Expanding Mechanism | 3VLV Three-Valve Structural Orientation | 6.0 Inch Nominal Total Length (15.2 cm) | Reusable OR-Grade Tracheostomy Emergency Instrument | Pre-Owned Hospital Surgery Asset (1/EA)
The Sklar 78-3460 is a professional-grade, hospital-level surgical instrument expertly engineered to smoothly widen and stabilize a freshly incised tracheal wall during emergency tracheostomy or airway reconstruction procedures. 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. Forged from high-tensile, passivated surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-reflective satin finish, this non-electronic mechanical instrument is optimized to handle high-volume automated washer debridement, dynamic ultrasonic cleaning, and strict dynamic steam autoclave sterilization cycles inside central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
