Description
The Shiley Low Pressure Cuffed Tracheostomy Tube (Size 10) provides a sealed airway for adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation or protection against aspiration. Its low-pressure, high-volume cuff conforms to the tracheal wall at lower inflation pressures, reducing the risk of ischaemic injury to tracheal mucosa during prolonged intubation. The tube dimensions — 8.9 mm inner diameter, 13.8 mm outer diameter, and 81 mm length — correspond to the Shiley Size 10 standard, appropriate for adult patients with larger airway anatomy.
