Shiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube Inner Cannula – 7.5mm Precision & Comfort

The Shiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube Inner Cannula (8IC85) is an essential component for patients utilizing the latest generation of Shiley™ Flexible tracheostomy tubes. Designed with an internal diameter (I.D.) of 7.5mm, this inner cannula is specifically manufactured to fit perfectly within the 8.5mm outer diameter (O.D.) flexible tracheostomy tube. As a global leader in respiratory care, Shiley™ has engineered this cannula to offer a seamless blend of airway safety and user convenience, making it a staple in hospitals and long-term care facilities worldwide.

Disposable Design for Enhanced Airway Hygiene

The primary advantage of the Shiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube Inner Cannula is its disposable, single-use nature. Tracheostomy care requires strict adherence to hygiene to prevent infections and “plugging” caused by dried secretions. This inner cannula eliminates the need for time-consuming soaking and scrubbing of reusable parts. When the cannula becomes soiled, simply discard it and snap a fresh, sterile Shiley Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube Inner Cannula into place. This process ensures the airway remains clear and significantly reduces the physical strain on the patient during routine maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure Snap-Lock Mechanism: Features a tactile and audible “click” upon insertion, ensuring the inner cannula is safely locked into the outer tube and won’t be dislodged by coughing.

• Integral 15mm Connector: The universal 15mm termination is built directly into the inner cannula, allowing for immediate connection to ventilators, manual resuscitators, or heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs).

• Biocompatible Materials: Constructed from high-quality, translucent materials that allow for easy visual inspection of secretions and airway patency.

• Smooth Interior Surface: Specially polished to reduce friction and secretion adherence, promoting better airflow and easier breathing for the patient.

• Sterile & Individually Wrapped: Guaranteed sterility until opened, protecting the patient from environmental contaminants.

• Optimized for Flexible Tubes: Specifically designed to work with the “flexible” series, accommodating the natural movement of the patient’s neck.

Common Clinical Applications

• Post-Operative Care: Providing a cleanable, replaceable airway for patients recovering from tracheostomy surgery.

• Critical Care & Ventilation: Ensuring a secure connection to mechanical ventilation through the 15mm universal hub.

• Home-Care Management: Simplifying the cleaning routine for caregivers and patients, reducing the risk of respiratory complications at home.
