Description
The Shiley Tracheostomy Cap from Covidien / Medtronic is a universal occlusion cap compatible with all CFN (Cuffless Fenestrated) and FEN (Fenestrated) Shiley tracheostomy tube sizes. It is used clinically to occlude the outer cannula opening, directing airflow through the natural upper airway — an important step in structured weaning protocols and a prerequisite for speaking trials without a dedicated speaking valve. The universal design simplifies inventory management by eliminating the need for size-specific caps across a unit’s patient population.
