The Smiths Medical 100/529/100 tracheostomy tube is designed to provide reliable airway management for patients requiring long-term respiratory support.

Its extra-long length and adjustable neck flange make it particularly suitable for patients with unique anatomical requirements, ensuring a secure and customized fit.
Key Benefits
This tracheostomy tube provides enhanced patient comfort due to its soft silicone construction, which reduces irritation and pressure on the tracheal wall. The extra-long design accommodates patients with deeper tracheal anatomy, while the adjustable neck flange allows clinicians to achieve optimal positioning. Its uncuffed configuration promotes natural airflow and reduces the risk of mucosal damage in appropriate cases.
Compatibility and Applications
The device is compatible with standard tracheostomy care systems and respiratory support equipment. It is commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care settings for patients requiring airway maintenance without cuff inflation. Suitable for adult patients with complex airway anatomy or those needing extended-length tracheostomy tubes.
Usage Guidelines
Insertion and management should be performed by trained healthcare professionals following established clinical protocols. Proper sizing must be confirmed prior to placement. Routine monitoring is recommended to ensure airway patency, correct positioning, and patient comfort. Regular cleaning and replacement should be carried out in accordance with institutional guidelines.

Comparison with Competitors

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
