With a 6.0mm internal diameter, 9.2mm outer diameter, and 64.5mm length, this tube is engineered to facilitate airflow while allowing phonation through its fenestrated design. It is ideal for patients transitioning from ventilatory support or those requiring long-term tracheostomy care.
Key Benefits
This tracheostomy tube promotes natural breathing and speech by incorporating a fenestrated structure that enables airflow through the vocal cords. The uncuffed design minimizes tracheal pressure and reduces the risk of mucosal injury. Its smooth, biocompatible material enhances patient comfort during extended use while maintaining durability and structural integrity.

The tube is compatible with standard tracheostomy care accessories, including inner cannulas, speaking valves, and humidification systems. It is commonly used in hospital, long-term care, and home care settings for patients requiring airway support without the need for a cuff. Suitable for use during weaning from mechanical ventilation and in patients who can manage their airway independently.
Usage Guidelines
The tube should be inserted and managed by trained healthcare professionals following established tracheostomy care protocols. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure proper placement, airway patency, and patient comfort. Cleaning and maintenance should be performed as per clinical guidelines to prevent blockage or infection.
