Description
Same trusted brand, more advanced design
Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes have a proven 50-year history with over 760 products used around the world. The Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes were designed to meet the latest regulations and standards, support the needs of doctors and caregivers, and — most critically — advance patient outcomes.
One critical clinician-inspired enhancement featured on Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes is the taper-shaped TaperGuard™ cuff. The TaperGuard™ cuff may help protect the lungs and reduce tracheal impact by reducing fluid leakage by 99% and exerting 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the trachea.1–3 In addition, TaperGuard™ cuff technology helps improve a clinician’s ability to provide mechanical ventilation with the ability to titrate ventilator air leak that is 65% greater than with earlier-generation Shiley™ tubes.4
