The Kendall Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff is a cutting-edge medical device designed to provide superior care for patients requiring tracheostomy. With a proven 40-year history, this trusted brand has become a global standard in tracheostomy care.

Key Features and Benefits

This advanced tracheostomy tube boasts a tapered-shaped TaperGuard™ cuff that offers numerous benefits. The TaperGuard™ cuff reduces fluid leakage by 99% and exerts 18.6% less lateral wall pressure on the trachea, protecting the lungs and minimizing tracheal impact. Additionally, the larger inner diameter compared to earlier Shiley™ tubes increases airflow by an average of 242% when the cuff is deflated, potentially reducing the work of breathing required for speaking and weaning from the tube. Other enhancements include color-coding for easy size identification, an expanded range of sizes, and a soft, non-DEHP plasticizer material for patient comfort.

Practical Applications and Target Audience

The Kendall Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube is ideal for patients requiring long-term or temporary tracheostomy care. Its advanced design and durable construction make it suitable for use in various clinical settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home care. The tube's ability to ventilate with or without an inner cannula offers versatility and convenience, while the clear flange design enhances visibility and ease of use. By choosing the Kendall Shiley™ Flexible Tracheostomy Tube, healthcare professionals can provide their patients with a high-quality, reliable, and comfortable tracheostomy experience.
