Shiley Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with Disposable Inner Cannula incorporates a TaperGuard cuff, ensuring a secure airway with minimal tracheal impact. The larger inner diameter facilitates improved airflow, potentially easing breathing and assisting in speaking and weaning processes.

Shiley Flexible Tracheostomy Tube With Inner Cannula 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.

The dual cannula system features a disposable inner component for impeccable hygiene and maintenance, alongside an outer cannula made of radiopaque polyvinyl chloride for durability and easy monitoring. An integrated 15mm connector caters to standard ventilation and anesthesia equipment, ensuring universal compatibility. The pliable neck plate is crafted to adapt to individual anatomies, offering comfort and a snug fit with convenient suture holes for secure placement.

Insertion is streamlined with a smooth, rounded tip obturator, while the low-pressure cuff optimizes seal integrity and minimizes potential damage to tracheal walls. TaperGuard technology not only reduces fluid leakage by 99% but also exerts 18.6% less lateral wall pressure, making mechanical ventilation more manageable and effective.

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.
