The obturator’s primary function is to facilitate the safe insertion of the tracheal tube. Once the tube is in position, the obturator is removed, allowing for airflow through the tube. The Chevalier-Jackson tracheal tube is a rigid, hollow tube designed to be inserted into the trachea (windpipe) through an incision made in the neck during a tracheotomy.
