• Pediatric size: This size is specifically designed for children with a tracheostomy stoma diameter of 5.0 mm.
• TaperGuard cuff: This unique cuff design helps to prevent leaks and improve comfort by conforming to the shape of the child’s trachea.
• Cuffed: This means that the tube has an inflatable cuff that helps to seal the airway and prevent leaks.
• 5.0 mm inner diameter (ID): This refers to the inner diameter of the tube, which is the size of the opening that allows air to flow through.
• Soft, flexible material: The tube is made of a soft, flexible material that is comfortable for children to wear.
• Rounded tip: The rounded tip helps to make insertion of the tube easier and less traumatic for the child.
• 15mm snap-lock connector: This connector securely attaches the tube to the ventilator or other equipment.
• Latex-free: This is important for children who are allergic to latex.
• Sterile: The tube is sterilized to ensure patient safety.

Here are some of the benefits of using the Shiley 5.0PCF Pediatric Trach with TaperGuard Cuffed 5.0 mm:

• Improved airway management: The TaperGuard cuff helps to prevent leaks and improve airway management.
• Reduced risk of aspiration: The cuff helps to seal the airway and prevent leaks, which can reduce the risk of aspiration.
• Improved comfort: The soft, flexible material and rounded tip make the tube comfortable for children to wear.
• Reduced risk of infection: The sterile tube helps to reduce the risk of infection.
• Promotes weaning: The cuff can be deflated gradually to allow children to gradually wean off the ventilator and breathe on their own.
