Shiley Flexible Tracheostomy Cuffed & Cuffless Tubes

Clinician-inspired Solutions in Care, Comfort and Convenience

Shiley flexible tracheostomy tubes are focused on three key needs: patient care, patient comfort and clinical convenience.

• Care: Soft materials and an expanded range of sizes.
• Comfort: Better seal with the TaperGuard cuff
• Convenience: Colour-coding by size (for disposable inner cannula products only) and a clear flange for enhanced visualization of the stoma site.

PERFORMANCE:

Internal benchtop testing has documented the performance advantages of the new Shiley Flexible tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard cuff. When compared with a standard Shiley DCT tube with a barrel-shaped cuff, the Shiley flexible tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard cuff showed:

• Average air seal performance improvement of 90.33%
• Average fluid seal performance improvement of 99.67%
• Insertion force reduction of 39.50%

OVERVIEW:

Same Trusted Brand, More Advanced Design

Shiley tracheostomy tubes have a proven 40-year 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.1 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%.2 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.
