Shiley Pediatric Tracheostomy Tubes, with TaperGuard Cuff

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. Our portfolio offers innovative cuffed and cuffless options, in a variety of sizes, with designs tailored to the needs of neonatal and pediatric patients. 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. • Significantly improves management of airway leak at pressures below 25 cm H2O • Reduces removal force by 58.3% compared to the previous barrel-shaped cuff — reducing the potential for stoma irritation or damage during removal
