Description
The Shiley Pediatric Extra-Long Cuffless Tracheostomy Tube, Size 5.5, is designed for pediatric patients whose anatomy — whether due to body habitus, a deep stoma, or other clinical factors — requires a longer tube shaft than a standard-length device provides. The 7.9 mm outer diameter corresponds to the Size 5.5 specification, and the extra-long shaft length ensures the tip is properly positioned within the trachea. Like other cuffless Shiley pediatric tubes, it is well suited to airway protocols that prioritize mucosal protection and the potential for vocalization. Placement and ongoing management should be handled by a qualified pediatric respiratory or surgical team.
