Smiths Medical ASD Bivona® FlexTend™ TTS™ Tracheostomy Tube, V Neck Flange, Pediatric, 91mm Length, Size 3

This Tracheostomy Tube is designed for pediatric patients who require intermittent or temporary cuff use. A cuff, when inflated, helps create a seal between the tube’s outer wall and the trachea to direct airflow through the inner lumen, protecting against aspiration and optimizing respiration in ventilated patients and patients performing lung expansion therapies. When the seal is no longer needed, the cuff can be deflated and it rests -- Tight-to-Shaft (TTS) -- reducing the risk of trauma to the trachea and allowing the patient to speak. A SuperSlick® coating applied to the silicone surfaces aids in tube insertion, removal, cleaning and reinsertion, most beneficial to patients, clinicians and homecare providers. Wire embedded in the tubes’ shaft helps resist kinking, and a beveled, low-trauma tip provides added comfort and flexibility. The non-ferrous wire makes this tracheostomy tube MR conditional with magnetic resonance imaging.
