4CN65H COVIDIEN Shiley Adult Flexible

Built upon a 50-year legacy of trust and over 760 products used worldwide, the Shiley™ Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube represents the next generation of patient and clinician-focused innovation. Designed to meet the latest regulations and standards, this advanced tube is engineered to support caregivers, simplify procedures, and, most importantly, improve patient safety and outcomes.

COVIDIEN 4CN65H Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior Seal and Tracheal Protection: Features the innovative TaperGuard™ Cuff, designed to reduce fluid leakage past the cuff by 99% in simulated models. Its unique taper shape exerts 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the tracheal wall, helping to minimize the risk of trauma and protect the lungs from aspiration.

• Enhanced Mechanical Ventilation: The TaperGuard™ technology provides a more effective seal, improving a clinician’s ability to deliver mechanical ventilation. It offers a 65% greater ability to titrate ventilator air leak compared to earlier-generation tubes, allowing for more precise management.

• Reduced Work of Breathing & Easier Weaning: Engineered with a larger inner diameter, the tube increases airflow around the outer cannula when the cuff is deflated by an average of 242%. This significant improvement in airflow may reduce the work of breathing required for speaking and facilitate weaning from the tracheostomy tube.

• Simplified and Safer Insertion: A 39% reduction in insertion force is achieved through a thinner, less bulky cuff. A beveled tip on all configurations further eases percutaneous insertion, enhancing procedural efficiency and patient comfort.

• Enhanced Patient Comfort and Skin Integrity: The transparent, soft flange is designed to conform to the patient’s anatomy, helping to reduce the risk of skin irritation and breakdown. Offset flange openings improve airflow to sensitive skin.

• Flexible Configuration Options: Available in both cuffed and cuffless models, with choices for a disposable or reusable inner cannula to suit specific clinical needs and protocols. The design also allows for ventilation with or without an inner cannula.

• Improved Usability: For disposable inner cannula products, color-coding by size allows for quick and easy identification. The tube is constructed with a soft, non-DEHP material and features an integrated 15mm connector for secure attachment.

Intended Use:
The Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube is designed to maintain a patient airway for those requiring a tracheostomy, providing a secure seal for ventilation, facilitating pulmonary hygiene, and supporting the process of weaning.
