The Bivona® Flextend™ TTS™ Plus Pediatric Tracheostomy Tube has a straight neck flangeand are designed for pediatric patients who require intermittent or temporary cuff use. When inflated, the cuff helps create a seal between the tube’s outer wall and the trachea to direct airflow through the inner lumen, protecting against aspiration and optimizing respiration in ventilated patients and patients performing lung expansion therapies. When the seal is no longer needed, the cuff can be deflated and it rests Tight-to-Shaft (TTS), reducing the risk of trauma to the trachea and allowing the patient to speak.

• Reduces discomfort while helping to maintain airway patency and aid weaning and speaking
• Can be reprocessed up to five times and are made of soft, natural, biocompatible silicone that is intended to be gentle on sensitive body tissues
• A SuperSlick® coating applied to the silicone surfaces aids in tube insertion, removal, cleaning and reinsertion
• The extended-length proximal shaft keeps external devices and ventilator connections away from the child’s neck, providing a greater range of mobility which is intended to reduce the risk of stoma irritation
• Wire embedded in the tubes’ shaft helps resist kinking, and a beveled, low-trauma tip provies added comfort and flexibility
• Wire is non-ferrous, prodcing less distortion in medical imaging than conventional wire
