Discover the Benefits of Shiley Cuffless Tracheostomy Tubes
For more than 40 years, clinicians have counted on Shiley tracheostomy tubes to facilitate positive outcomes across the patient-care continuum. Today, the new generation of Shiley Flexible adult tracheostomy tubes builds on the brand’s heritage of quality and reliability with a range of product advances designed to enhance patient safety and simplify patient care.
Shiley™ flexible tracheostomy tubes prioritize three essential aspects: patient well-being, patient comfort, and clinical ease.
Patient Well-being: Utilizing gentle materials and an extended selection of sizes.
Patient Comfort: Ensuring a superior seal with the TaperGuard™ cuff.
Clinical Ease: Facilitating convenience through size-based color coding (applicable to disposable inner cannula products only) and providing a transparent flange for improved visibility of the stoma site.
Easier Insertion and Removal
- A thinner, less bulky cuff reduces insertion force by 39%.
- A beveled tip on all product configurations eases percutaneous insertion

May Enhance Fit and Comfort
The outer cannula is flexible enough to conform to the patient’s airway, but rigid enough to maintain airway patency.- The tubes use sizing (I.D., O.D., length and tube curvature) that is essentially equivalent with that used in earlier Shiley products.
- Additional sizes have been added to improve patient fit when needed.
