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. 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.

 

Features

Insertion force may be reduced

  • 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 (I.D., O.D., length and tube curvature) that is similar to those used in earlier Shiley™ products.

May improve clinician’s ability to provide mechanical ventilation

  • Integrated 15 mm connector
  • The TaperGuard™ cuff reduces fluid leakage by 99%.

May reduce the risk of irritation and skin breakdown

  • 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.

Increased airflow over legacy product

  • 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.
