Pediatric Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless

Shiley™ neonatal and pediatric tracheostomy solutions incorporate a wide range of simple and smart design advances to improve the healthcare experience for both patients and clinicians.

These clinician-inspired solutions include:

•     Flange distinction for neonatal or pediatric patients
•     A unique pediatric cuff design
•     Comfort recess on the bottom of the connector to help reduce inferior stoma irritation
•     Transparent soft flange that supports patient comfort and visualization of the skin below
•     Softer material and expanded size options, compared to previous Shiley™ tracheostomy products

To help clinicians manage ventilator-dependent patients, the low-profile, low pressure TaperGuard™ cuff on the Shiley™ neonatal and pediatric tracheostomy tubes:

•     Reduces fluid leakage by an average of >94.8% at similar or lower intracuff pressure.1
•     Significantly improves management of airway leak at pressures below 25 cm H2O2
•     Reduces removal force by 58.3% compared to the previous barrel-shaped cuff — reducing the potential for stoma irritation or damage during removal.3

These products are manufactured with a non-DEHP plasticizer. This new material has been incorporated into the soft, transparent flange that allows for enhanced visualization of the underlying skin and stoma site.

All tubes beginning with the letter P (PEF, PCF, PELF, and PLCF) feature a higher flange angle to improve fit for paediatric patients.
