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.

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.
