Potential benefits of using Shiley 6.5PLCF Pediatric Extra Long Trach with TaperGuard Cuffed 6.5 mm:

• Improved airway management: The extra length ensures proper placement in the trachea, preventing leaks and improving airway management.
• Reduced risk of aspiration: The cuff helps seal the airway and prevent leaks, minimizing the risk of aspiration.
• Enhanced comfort: The soft, flexible material and rounded tip provide a comfortable fit for children.
• TaperGuard™ cuff technology: This unique cuff design distributes pressure evenly on the tracheal wall, offering a more comfortable fit and potentially reducing the risk of irritation and discomfort.
• Promotes weaning: The cuff can be gradually deflated to allow children to gradually wean off the ventilator and breathe on their own.

• This device should only be used in children confirmed to have a longer tracheal length.
• Consultation with a healthcare professional is crucial before using this device to ensure it’s the right fit for the individual child’s needs.
