Shiley Flexible Disposable Inner Cannula

Who Uses the Shiley Flexible Trach Inner Cannula? Medical providers, caregivers, and individuals who use a Shiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube With Disposable Cannula or a Shiley Flexible Evac Tracheostomy Tube With Disposable Cannula.

Why They Love It: A disposable cannula doesn't require cleaning, and changing the inner cannula requires only light pressure, allowing users with dexterity challenges and limited hand strength to place it securely. Color coding by size enables quick trach tube identification in healthcare settings.

The Disposable Inner Cannula for Shiley Flexible Trach Tubes is designed to snap securely into place within the compatible tube. It is easy to insert and quick to remove for convenient disposal. The inner cannula is made of soft material to help enhance patient comfort. It's manufactured with a citrate-based, non-DEHP plasticizer for greater peace of mind.

No, the Shiley Flexible Disposable Inner Cannula cannot be used with Shiley's fenestrated trach tubes. The fenestrated trach tubes are compatible with the Shiley Fenestrated Disposable Inner Cannula.

No, the XLT tubes require an XLT Extended-Length Disposable Inner Cannula.

I'm used to the traditional Shiley tracheostomy tube, not the newer flexible model. Are the inner cannulas different?
Yes, there are some key differences. The updated inner cannula is part of Shiley's flex portfolio of tracheostomy products. Compared to the legacy products, these flexible trach tubes allow for reduced insertion force and increased airflow around the outer cannula.

Like the tubes they are used with, the flexible inner cannulas come in an expanded range of sizes. They are made with soft, non-DEHP material instead of the more rigid PVC material of the previous cannula. Securing the inner cannula no longer requires heavy pressure, pinching, or twisting, making placement easier for those who cannot perform those motions with their hands.
