Soft silicone tracheostomy tubefor neonates and children
• Large, specially reinforced eyelets with neck strap inlet
• With and without TRACOE H2O Cuff
• Embedded cuff inflation line
• Soft, flexible proximal extension
• Different length variants in stock
Children’s anatomical structures are highly sensitive and react strongly to manipulation and compression. A child’s trachea is narrow and very soft. A fl exible, kink-resistant but soft tube is gentle on the tracheal mucosa and the stoma itself.1, 2, 3
The characteristic anatomical features of a large occipital region and a short neck, especially in infants, causes antefl e-xion of the head and makes access to the tracheostoma more diffi cult.4 Proximally extended tubes reduce the risk of pressure marks on the chin or chest and the risk of the connector being occluded by the chin. In addition, the child has more freedom of movement and the 15 mm connector of the tube is easily accessible.5, 6
The size of the tube, but more particularly its length has to be constantly adapted to the child‘s growth.4 Sometimes a good fi t depends on mere millimetres.
Soft tracheostomy tube
TRACOE silcosoft
Embedded!
The cuff supply line is embedded in the material of the tube wall
• The supply line is not bulky
• Reduces the risk of lesions 3
• With de� ated cuff, no obstruction of the expiratory air� ow
Flush and clear!
Soft TRACOE H2O Cuff lies � ush when de� ated*
• Sensitisation, phonation or communication when the TRACOE H2O Cuff is de� ated
• Largest possible free expiratory lumen between the tube and the tracheal wall
No tearing!
Large, specially reinforced eyelets in the neck � ange
• Prevent the wings from being torn by the neck straps, e.g. by hook-and-loop fastener
• Neck strap inlet on the underside of the eyelets
• Reduces the risk of tube dislocation and allows a smooth exchange of the neck strap
