Shiley Flexible Tracheostomy Tube, Cuffless, 7.0mm

Description

Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with disposable inner cannula are available in cuffed and cuffless configurations. Shiley™ Flexible Tubes were designed with larger inner diameters, compared to earlier Shiley™ Tracheostomy Tubes. 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 makes it possible to ventilate with or without an inner cannula. Features: A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion1 Use sizing (ID and OD length and tube curvature) that is similar to those used in earlier Shiley™ products The flexible tube eases percutaneous insertion with an integrated 15mm connector 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 are designed to improve airflow to sensitive skin and is offset to help reduce contact with the patient’s skin Improved airflow may reduce the work of breathing required to speak and wean from a tracheostomy tube2 Footnotes 1.
