Key Medical and Ozetrades is an Australian company that supplies diagnostic equipment, urinary catheters, ENT workstations and acute care devices for hospitals. Acute care devices are basically high-quality post-surgical patient care products such as Dale Foley catheter holders, tracheostomy tube holders, ETT holders, bendable arm boards, transducer holders and HUGS, a device that is used to secure tubing and cords in the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute care devices supplied by the company are manufactured by Dale Medical Products, Inc.
Dale 240 blue tracheostomy tube holders are used to give secure positioning and ensure minimal movement for the tracheostomy tube. These tube holders help to hold the tube in position since any unnecessary movement of the trach tube can result in dislocation and dislodgement of the tube, which could cause fistula, tracheal stenosis or airway granuloma.
Dale 240 blue tracheostomy tube holders are very secure as well as stable and they considerably lower the risk of post-surgery secondary complications. These tracheostomy tube holders have secure fastener tabs that limit the movement of the tube and the risk of accidental decannulation. These tube holders also have a portion of stretch material that allows cough reflex and oedema without compromising safety.
