Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube, Cuffless, Adult Ag ...

Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes have a proven 40 years history with over 760 million products used around the world. These clinician-inspired enhancements include the taper-shaped TaperGuard™ cuff. The TaperGuard™ cuff may help protect the lungs and reduce tracheal impact by reducing fluid leakage by 99% and exerting 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the trachea. In addition, TaperGuard™ cuff technology helps improve a clinician's ability to provide mechanical ventilation with the ability to titrate ventilator air leak that is 65% greater than with earlier-generation Shiley™ tubes. Shiley™ flexible tubes were designed with larger inner diameters, compared to earlier Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes. Airflow around the outer cannula when the cuff is deflated has increased by an average of 242%. It has been found that improved airflow may reduce the work of breathing required to speak and wean from a tracheostomy tube. Other enhancements in the new family of Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes include color-coding by size (for disposable inner cannula products only), an expanded range of sizes, a soft material made with a non-DEHP plasticizer, a clear flange and a design that make it possible to ventilate with or without an inner cannula.

Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube, Cuffless, Adult Age Group, Size: 8.5 mm, Non-DEHP Tube, 8.5 mm ID x 12.2 mm OD Dia Tube, 79 mm L Tube, PVC, Clear, Cuff Size: 26.6 mm, Inner Cannula Size: 7.5 mm

• A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 39%
• A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion
• The Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy products use sizing (ID, OD, length and tube curvature) that is similar to those used in earlier Shiley™ products
• Integrated 15 mm connector
• The TaperGuard™ cuff reduces fluid leakage by 99%
• Flange material is a transparent, soft material designed to conform to the patient's anatomy to help reduce the risk of skin breakdown
• Flange openings designed to improve airflow to sensitive skin
• It is offset to help reduce contact with the patient's skin
• The TaperGuard™ cuff exerts 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the trachea
• Airflow around the outer cannula when the cuff is deflated has increased by an average of 242%
• Improved airflow may reduce the work of breathing required to speak and wean from a tracheostomy tube
