Benefits of using the Shiley 5.5PCF Pediatric Trach with TaperGuard Cuffed 5.5 mm:

• Improved airway management: The TaperGuard™ cuff helps to prevent leaks and improve airway management, providing a more secure fit and reducing the risk of air leaks.
• Reduced risk of aspiration: The cuff helps to seal the airway and prevent leaks, which can reduce the risk of aspiration, where fluids or liquids enter the lungs.
• Improved comfort: The soft, flexible material and rounded tip make the tube comfortable for children to wear, minimizing discomfort and irritation.
• Promotes weaning: The cuff can be deflated gradually to allow children to gradually wean off the ventilator and breathe on their own, encouraging natural breathing patterns.
• Reduced pressure on the tracheal wall: The TaperGuard™ cuff design helps to reduce pressure on the delicate tracheal wall, potentially minimizing the risk of damage and promoting faster healing.
