Equine Tracheostomy Device

THIS PART HAS NOT YET BEEN TESTED, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, FOR LICENSED VETERINARY USE ONLY.

Credit on the overall design concept belongs to Pape as these are generically called Pape's Model tracheostomy devices. I was unable to locate Pape after an extended search so if anyone knows who they are or how to contact them please comment below.

This part is intended to be disposable and one time use. Do not attempt to sanitize after use. 3D prints absorb fluids and are almost impossible to properly sanitize once used on a patient.


FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO SANITIZE THE DEVICE PRIOR TO USE:
