Description
The Shiley Flex Cuffless Tracheostomy Tube (8.5 mm, Reusable) from Covidien / Medtronic combines a flexible shaft with a cuffless configuration to support comfortable, long-term tracheostomy management. The flexible tube design conforms more naturally to patient anatomy, reducing mucosal pressure and irritation during extended wear. Without an inflatable cuff, upper-airway airflow is preserved, making this tube suitable for patients who are breathing spontaneously and progressing through a weaning protocol.
