Minimally Invasive Therapies / Products / Tracheostomy / Shiley™ Flexible Evac Tracheostomy Tubes with TaperGuard™ Cuff Technology

Overview

Same trusted brand. Advanced access design.

Shiley™ tracheostomy tubes have a 40-year history with over 760 million products used around the world.

The Shiley™ flexible evac tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard™ cuff technology offers clinician-inspired enhancements to the Shiley™ flexible adult tracheostomy portfolio, and features:

  • The addition of an evac lumen to enable removal of secretions from the subglottic space
  • The Shiley™ taper-shaped TaperGuard cuff
  • A translucent outer cannula with beveled tip

This product can be used for the initial tracheostomy insertion in the ICU to remove potentially bacteria producing fluids1, which are recognized as a primary source for ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP).

Shiley™ flexible evac tracheostomy tubes were designed with a slightly larger outer diameter, compared to standard Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes, to support the evac lumen for secretion removal.

Seal the path to a smooth recovery.

Features

Shiley™ evac technology

  • The Shiley™ TaperGuard Evac oral endotracheal tube incorporates evac technology that has been shown to reduce VAP by an average of 50% compared to standard endotracheal tubes without subglottic secretion.2

Thermosensitive transparent outer cannula

  • Thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 48%3
  • Beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion4
  • Smooth, continuous curvature enables proper positioning
  • Sizing — I.D., O.D., length, and tube curvature — is comparable to that of earlier Shiley™ products
  • Made of non-DEHP material

TaperGuard™ low pressure, low volume cuff

  • Reduces fluid leakage by 99 percent compared to legacy Shiley™ tracheostomy products1
  • Low pressure, low volume design applies less lateral wall pressure on trachea in benchtop study5
  • Thinner material enables more even distribution of wall pressure5

May reduce the risk of irritation and skin breakdown

  • Soft, transparent flange material is designed to conform to the patient’s anatomy and may help reduce the risk of skin breakdown6
  • Custom designed flange openings improve airflow to sensitive skin, and are offset to help reduce contact with the patient’s skin
