Over 760 million Shiley tracheostomy tubes have been used globally over their 40-year lifespan. Among these improvements with a clinical flair is the taper-shaped TaperGuard cuff. Because the TaperGuard cuff reduces fluid leakage by 99% and reduces lateral wall pressure on the trachea by 18.6%, it may assist protect the lungs and lessen tracheal impact.1. Furthermore, a clinician’s capacity to administer mechanical ventilation is enhanced by TaperGuard cuff technology, which allows for a 65% greater titration of ventilator air leak than was previously possible with Shiley tubes of an older generation. When comparing Shiley flexible tubes to older Shiley tracheostomy tubes, the latter were built with greater inner diameters.
