- A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion
- A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force
- 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
- The TaperGuard™ Cuff reduces fluid leakage
- 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 are offset to help reduce contact with the patient’s skin
- The TaperGuard™ Cuff exerts#26;less lateral wall pressure on the trachea
- Airflow around the outer cannula when the cuff is deflated has increased
- Improved airflow may reduce the work of breathing required to speak and wean from a tracheostomy tube

Product details
Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes with disposable inner cannula are available in cuffed and cuffless configurations.
One critical clinician-inspired enhancement featured on Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tubes is the taper-shaped TaperGuard™ Cuff. The TaperGuard™ Cuff may help protect the lungs and reduce tracheal impact by reducing fluid leakage and exerting less lateral wall pressure on the trachea. #26;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 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 significantly. 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 makes it possible to ventilate with or without an inner cannula.
