This Shiley™ Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tubeswith Disposable Inner Cannula features design advances that may help improve patient outcomes and enhance the healthcare experience for clinicians and patients.
- Low profile cuff — A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 39%.1
- 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 (I.D., O.D., length and tube curvature) that is substantially equivalent to those used in earlier Shiley™ products.
- Size choices — Additional sizes have been added to improve patient fit when needed.
- Increased airflow — Airflow around the outer cannula when the cuff is deflated has increased by an average of 242%.1
- Work of breathing — Improved airflow may reduce the work of breathing required to speak and wean from a tracheostomy tube.
- New material — Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes are now manufactured with a non-DEHP plasticizer.
- Reusable inner cannula — May be cleaned and reused up to 29 days for same patient use.
