File:Tracheostomy tube cuffed (Tenbergen).jpg

A cuffed tracheostomy tube with its flange, 15 mm connector, inflated cuff and blue pilot balloon with inflation line — the device placed by the procedure this simulator trains.

Used as the hero image on Bronchoscopy-Guided Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy Simulator (Kattan).

This is a photograph of the clinical device, NOT of the Kattan simulator. The Kattan et al. source paper is CC BY-NC-ND (PMC6903325) and the no-derivatives term bars reuse of its figures here. This image is included as a visual analogue of the equipment the simulator trains people to place, following the precedent set on Vascular Anastomosis Simulator (Cubas). It must never be captioned or cited as showing the simulator itself.

Provenance. From Wikimedia Commons File:Tracheostomy tube cuffed.jpg (source sha1 d2677057f722). Held at the original 4000 x 3000 pixel dimensions — nothing was cropped or downscaled — but re-encoded at JPEG quality 88 because the 3.07 MB original exceeds Appropedia's 2 MB upload limit. A local copy is held rather than a shadowing upload under the Commons filename, so the Commons original remains unambiguous.
