Potential benefits of using the Shiley 5.5PEF Pediatric Trach Cuffless 5.5 mm:

• Reduced risk of irritation: The non-cuffed design minimizes contact with the delicate tissues of the trachea, potentially reducing irritation and discomfort.
• Easier speaking ability: The non-cuffed design allows air to flow through the upper airway, which can help children speak more easily.
• Reduced risk of aspiration: The non-cuffed design allows for more natural cough reflexes and easier removal of secretions, potentially reducing the risk of aspiration.
• Promotes development: The non-cuffed design allows for more natural breathing patterns and may promote the development of speech and swallowing.
