The T-9 Procedure Tray is a two-tier, sterile, disposable, single patient use tray which contains supplies for creating the transtracheal tract which supports SCOOP transtracheal catheters. The "Upper Preparatory Tier" contains supplies for site selection, local anesthesia and skin disinfection. The "Lower Procedure Tier" contains supplies for draping, creating the tract, and Pre-SCOOP stent insertion.   Both tiers are designed to rest securely on a small Mayo stand.   The SCOOP Clinical Guide for the Modified Seldinger Insertion Technique, SCOOP Patient Chart, SCOOP Patient Workbook, and post procedure patient instructions are included with the procedure tray.

The T-9 Procedure tray may be used by pulmonologists, physicians, and surgeons in a day surgery setting.  Additional supplies may be needed following the initial procedure.   Please see the Minimum Patient Supply list, or contact our technical services department for more information.   If you have any questions about the tray or procedure, please contact our technical services department at rt1@tto2.com, or by telephone at (303) 790-4766, or toll free in the US (800) 527-2667.
