• Flexible, disposable inner cannula has a unique locking ring that fastens it securely to the outer cannula.
• Flexible, soft, free-swiveling neck flange improves patient comfort and provides easy inspection of the stoma site.
• Outer cannula tip-to-tip radiopaque line facilitates proper tube positioning.
• High volume, low pressure cuff meets all published cuff criteria.
• ISO sizing indicates I.D. of disposable inner cannula.
• 100% latex-free.

Shiley XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 105mm L, 8mm I.D. × 13-2/7mm O.D., Proximal Extension, White Flange Buyer’s Guide

The Shiley XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 105mm Length with 8mm I.D. and 13-2/7mm O.D., Proximal Extension, White Flange is a specialty airway tube designed for patients requiring additional proximal length. The uncuffed design allows for spontaneous breathing and is commonly used in patients who do not require ventilation or those transitioning out of ventilator dependence.

Designed for Deep Stomas or Thick Necks

With a 105mm proximal extension, this tracheostomy tube accommodates patients with thick neck anatomy or a deep skin-to-trachea distance. The longer shaft allows secure placement without pulling or bending, improving comfort and reducing dislodgement risks.

Shiley XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 105mm L Promotes Natural Breathing

This version of the Shiley XLT tracheostomy tube features no inflatable cuff, making it ideal for patients who breathe independently and require an open airway without ventilation. The uncuffed design also allows for easier speech and secretion clearance.

Proximal Extension for Flange Flexibility

The XLT tracheostomy tube includes a proximal extension that increases the distance between the flange and the tip, helping caregivers place the flange comfortably on the neck while maintaining correct tube depth. The swivel white flange allows for easier positioning around stomas and irregular neck contours.

 XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy  Tube Comfortable and Flexible Material

Constructed from body-temperature responsive material, the 105mm L tracheostomy tube softens during use to conform to internal anatomy. This flexibility reduces irritation and enhances tolerance for long-term wear. The thermosensitive polymer maintains its shape while being soft enough for delicate tissue contact.

Removable Inner Cannula

A disposable inner cannula allows for quick and sanitary replacement of the Shiley tracheostomy tube without removing the outer cannula. This simplifies care routines and reduces infection risk. The twist-lock mechanism keeps the cannula secure during breathing, coughing, or patient repositioning.

Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 105mm L Accurate Placement

The built-in radiopaque strip provides clear visibility under X-ray or fluoroscopy. This feature helps clinicians confirm tracheostomy tube placement and monitor for migration.

Latex-Free and ISO Compliant

Made without latex or other known allergens, this tracheostomy tube is safe for use with sensitive patients. It complies with ISO medical device standards, ensuring compatibility with accessories and professional safety benchmarks.
