Shiley Flexible Tracheostomy Tube With TaperGuard Cuff Features
- Help enable easier insertion and removal:
- Low profile cuff - A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 39%
- Beveled tip - A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion
- May enhance patient fit and comfort:
- Flexible cannula - The outer cannula is flexible enough to conform to the patients airway, but rigid enough to maintain airway patency.
- Familiar sizes - The tubes use sizing (I.D., O.D., length and tube curvature) that is substantially equivalent to those used in earlier Shiley products.Â
- Size choices Additional sizes have been added to improve patient fit when needed.​
- ​Help improve clinicians ability to provide mechanical ventilation
- Taper-shaped cuff - The ability to titrate ventilator air leak is 65% greater with the addition of TaperGuard cuff technology
- Integrated connector - The 15mm connector on the Shiley flexible tracheostomy tubes is now integrated into the outer cannula, which enables ventilation with or without an inner cannula

FAQs
What is the TaperGuard cuff technology?
The TaperGuard cuff technology is a design feature that provides a tapered, low-pressure seal that conforms to the patient's anatomy, reducing the risk of complications such as tracheal necrosis or stenosis.
How often does the tube need to be replaced?
The frequency of replacement depends on several factors, including the patient's medical condition, the duration of use, and the care and maintenance of the tube. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and the healthcare provider's recommendations for care and replacement of the tube.
How is the tube inserted and removed?
The insertion and removal of the tube require specialized medical training and should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional. The procedure involves carefully inserting or removing the tube through the tracheal incision, while monitoring the patient's vital signs and oxygenation.
