Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) Kit — Complete ICU Set
SKU: XY-PDT | Kit de Traqueostomía Percutánea por Dilatación (PDT) — Set Completo para UCI
The PDT kit puts everything a bedside percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy needs into one sterile tray, so a ventilated patient does not have to be moved to theatre. That is the real purchasing argument: moving a ventilated patient costs staff, monitoring and theatre time, and the reason a unit switches to the percutaneous technique is usually logistical before it is clinical. The tray holds the tracheostomy tube with cuff and pilot balloon, inner cannula, obturator, single-pass curved dilator, guidewire, introducer needle with cannula, syringe, scalpel, cleaning brush, neck tape, fenestrated drape, table drape and gauze. The tube carries a permanently attached 15 mm connector so it couples straight onto a ventilator or anaesthetic circuit, and radiopaque material along its whole length so position can be confirmed on x-ray. The tapered arc tip eases placement and removal of both the tube and the inner cannula. Available in sizes 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 and in single, double and triple cannula configurations. Supplied to distributors, importers and hospital purchasing groups, with own-brand packaging to order.

Clinical Uses
- Bedside percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in ICU
- Weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation
- Airway management in patients with prolonged intubation
- Tracheostomy tube replacement (individual presentation)
- Catalogue extension for ICU distributors and importers
Sizes and configurations
Choose the presentation first (tube only or complete procedure tray), then the cannula configuration, then the size. Configuration is what decides later management: a removable inner cannula can be cleaned without withdrawing the outer tube, which is what units with long stays are buying.
| Presentation | Configuration | Sizes | When it is chosen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual pack | Single | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Tube replacement, no procedure material |
| Individual pack | Double | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Replacement with removable inner cannula |
| Individual pack | Triple | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Replacement with a spare inner cannula |
| Complete kit | Single | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Bedside procedure, short-stay management |
| Complete kit | Double | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Procedure where prolonged ventilation is expected |
| Complete kit | Triple | 7.0 · 7.5 · 8.0 · 8.5 | Procedure with spare inner cannula included |
The complete kit is what ICUs buy; the individual pack is what pharmacy orders to replace tubes without duplicating procedure material. Many units carry both references at once.
Frequently Asked Questions — Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) Kit — Complete ICU Set
What exactly is in the complete kit tray?
Tracheostomy tube with cuff and pilot balloon, inner cannula, obturator, single-pass curved dilator, guidewire, introducer needle with cannula, syringe, scalpel, cleaning brush, neck tape, fenestrated drape, table drape and gauze. The whole procedure in one sterile pack, rather than material gathered from three different places before starting.
What is the difference between single, double and triple cannula?
Single is one tube. Double adds a removable inner cannula that can be withdrawn and cleaned without taking out the outer tube or interrupting the airway. Triple adds a spare inner cannula, so a clean one goes in while the other is processed. For prolonged ventilation the double is the practical minimum; single is used where early decannulation is expected.
Is the dilator single-pass or sequential?
Single-pass, curved. It goes from guidewire to final calibre in one movement instead of stepping through progressively larger dilators. Fewer steps means less time with the airway open, which is why most units moved to this configuration.
Is the tube visible on x-ray?
Yes. The material is radiopaque along the whole tube rather than only as a marker stripe, so a check film confirms the full position of the tube and not just the tip.
Does the 15 mm connector fit any ventilator?
The 15 mm connector is the standard fitting on ventilation and anaesthetic circuits, and it is permanently attached to the tube — not a loose piece that can be lost or work free during a patient transfer. If your ventilator fleet uses a particular adapter, say so when you quote and we will confirm.
Can the tray be configured differently?
Yes. Tray composition is configurable: drapes, gauze and accessories can be added, removed or re-quantified to match your customer's protocol or the contents of a reference you already distribute. Send the content list you want and we quote against it.
What is the minimum order and what documentation do you provide?
The minimum depends on whether you take the standard reference or a configured tray. Send estimated quantity, sizes, cannula configuration and destination country for price and lead time. We provide the technical file, the manufacturer's ISO 13485 certificate and per-batch sterilisation documentation for your local registration. The finished-device registration is held by the distributor in the destination market.

One tray instead of a theatre slot
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy exists because moving a ventilated patient is expensive. Transferring to theatre ties up a porter team, a monitored transfer, an anaesthetist and a theatre slot that another case needs. Doing the same procedure at the bedside removes all of that, and the kit is what makes it practical — the whole procedure arrives in one sterile pack rather than being assembled from three storerooms.
What decides which configuration you stock
Single, double and triple refer to the cannula, not to the tray. A single tube is one piece. A double adds a removable inner cannula that can be taken out and cleaned while the outer tube stays in the airway. A triple adds a spare inner cannula so a clean one goes in while the other is processed. For prolonged ventilation the double is the practical minimum; the single is chosen where early decannulation is expected.
Why the dilator is a single pass
The curved dilator takes the stoma from guidewire to final calibre in one movement rather than stepping through progressively larger dilators. Fewer passes means less time with the airway open, which is the reason most units moved to this configuration and the first thing an intensivist will ask about.
What to confirm before ordering
- Presentation: complete procedure tray, individual tube pack, or both - Cannula configuration: single, double or triple - Size breakdown across the order — 7.5 and 8.0 usually carry the volume - Whether the tray composition should match a reference you already distribute
