Smiths ASD Portex Bivona FlexTend TTS Pediatric Straight Neck Flange Tracheostomy Tubes are for young patients, from newborns to children, who need a cuff now and then. You can clean and reuse these Bivona FlexTend TTS tubes up to five times. They are made from a soft, natural silicone that works well with the body and is meant to be kind to sensitive areas.
Features of Flextend Trachestomy Tubes:
- SuperSlick coating on silicone surfaces helps with tube insertion, removal, cleaning, and putting it back in. This helps patients, medical staff, and home care providers.
- The long proximal shaft keeps outside devices and ventilator connections away from the child's neck. This allows more movement, which aims to lower the chance of stoma irritation.
- Wire inside the tube resists kinking.
- The beveled, low-trauma tip gives more comfort and flexibility.
- The wire is non-ferrous, meaning it causes less blur in medical images than regular wire.
