Shiley XLT Extended-Length Tracheostomy Tubes give you an economical, off-the-shelf alternative to custom tracheostomy tubes for patients with anatomical challenges. Unlike most extended-length tracheostomy tubes, Shiley XLT tubes give you the choice of extra length in the proximal or distal portions for a more customized fit. In addition, the Shiley XLT offers the convenience of a disposable inner cannula. Both the outer and inner cannulas are flexible, so they more easily conform to your patient's anatomy. For patients with challenging anatomy, Shiley XLT extended-length disposable inner cannula tracheostomy tubes are an efficient and economical, off-the-shelf alternative to custom tracheostomy tubes. Shiley XLT tubes are available with extended length in either the proximal or distal portions. Choose extra length in the proximal portion to accommodate increased skin-to-tracheal-wall distances in patients with a full or thick neck. Tubes with extended distal length compensate for conditions such as tracheal stenosis or malacia, which often require extra length. Shiley XLT tracheostomy tubes also offer patient comfort through our flexible, free-swiveling neck flange while providing easy inspection of the stoma site. A disposable inner cannula is secured with our unique twist-lock mechanism, affording ease of use for both patients and healthcare workers.
