Description
The Covidien/Medtronic Decannulation Plug for Size 6 Shiley tracheostomy tubes is a clinical tool used during the decannulation process to progressively block airflow through the tube, redirecting the patient to breathe entirely through the upper airway. This step is a standard component of weaning protocols and allows clinicians to assess respiratory function and tolerance before proceeding with full tube removal. Supplied in a box of 10 for convenient ward-level stocking.
