Type: Tracheostomy tube with no inner cannula

Size: 5.0 mm inner diameter (ID)

Extended length: Provides extra length in the proximal portion (closer to the stoma) for patients with thick necks or challenging anatomy

Cuffless: Does not have an inflatable cuff to seal the airway

Material: Soft, flexible plastic for comfort and ease of use

Features:

• Extends proximally: Offers additional length to accommodate thicker neck tissues or difficult stoma locations.
• Tapered design: Facilitates easier insertion and minimizes pressure on the tracheal wall.
• Tip-to-tip radiopaque line: Allows for proper tube placement during X-ray imaging.
• Smooth, rounded tip: Minimizes risk of injury during insertion.

Potential benefits of using the Shiley 50XLTUP Cuffless Extended Tracheostomy Tube:

• Improved comfort: The extended length and soft, flexible material provide a comfortable fit for patients with specific anatomical needs.
• Reduced risk of complications: The cuffless design eliminates the risk of cuff-related complications like tracheal erosion and granulation tissue formation.
• Promotes weaning: The absence of a cuff allows for easier speaking and may facilitate the weaning process from a ventilator.
• Easy cleaning and maintenance: The smooth, non-cuffed design simplifies cleaning and reduces the risk of bacterial colonization.
• Cost-effective: Eliminates the need for disposable inner cannulas, offering a more cost-effective solution for long-term tracheostomy care.
