Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard, Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula, Size 8.5 mm.
- Low profile cuff: A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 39%.
- Beveled tip: A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion.
- Flexible cannula: The outer cannula is flexible enough to conform to the patient’s airway, but rigid enough to maintain airway patency.
- Familiar sizes: The tubes use sizing (ID, OD, length and tube curvature) that is substantially equivalent to those used in earlier Shiley™ products.
- Taper-shaped-cuff: The ability to titrate ventilator air leak is 65% greater with the addition of TaperGuard™ cuff technology.
- Integrated connector: The 15mm connector on the Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes is now integrated into the outer cannula, which enables ventilation with or without an inner cannula.
- Flange material: The flange features a transparent, soft material designed to conform to the patient’s clavicle to help reduce the risk of skin breakdown.
- Flange windows: The central portion of the flange has windows designed to improve airflow to sensitive skin. It is offset to help reduce contact with the patient’s skin.
- Taper-shaped-cuff: With the TaperGuard™ cuff, the tube reduces fluid leakage by 99%.
- Wall pressure: The tube exerts 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the trachea.
- New material: Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes are now manufactured with a citrate-based plasticizer.
- Color coding: Color coding (for disposable inner cannula products only) by size helps clinicians quickly identify the right inner cannula for the corresponding tube.
- Disposable inner cannula (7.5mm ID): The inner cannula is designed for quick and safe disposal after a single use.
