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.

• Four adult sizes, cuffed and cuffless, with proximal or distal extension, representing 16 options for patients with anatomical challenges.
• 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.

XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 100mm L, 7mm I.D. x 12-2/7mm O.D., Proximal Extension, White Flange Buyer’s Guide

The XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube is designed to provide a secure, comfortable airway solution for patients requiring extended tracheal access without the use of a cuff. This model features a proximal extension and uncuffed design, making it ideal for long-term use, specialized anatomical needs, and patients with tracheal deviations or unique stoma placement.

Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube Extended-Length Design

The 100mm length of the XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube allows clinicians to bypass challenging anatomy such as tracheal stenosis, thick neck tissue, or unusual tracheostomy site placement. This extended length helps improve tube positioning and reduces complications related to inadequate tube depth.

XLT 100mm L Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube for Long-Term Airway Support

As an uncuffed model, this tracheostomy tube is designed for patients who do not require ventilation with cuff inflation. The uncuffed structure allows for more natural airflow, speech, and swallowing, making it suitable for those transitioning off mechanical ventilation or using the tube for airway maintenance only.

Tracheostomy Tube with Proximal Extension for Enhanced Custom Fit

The proximal extension on the XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube offers additional adjustability and improved placement within the trachea. This design is particularly useful for accommodating patients with larger necks or variable stoma positioning, supporting a more customized fit and minimizing discomfort.

Internal and Outer Diameter Precision

With an internal diameter of 7mm and an outer diameter of 12-2/7mm, this 100 mm L tracheostomy tube balances effective airflow with patient comfort. These dimensions make it suitable for a wide range of adult patients while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing the risk of airway blockage or irritation.

White Flange for Visibility and Comfort

The tracheostomy tube is equipped with a white flange that is constructed for ease of securing the tube and is designed to sit comfortably against the neck. It improves visibility during dressing changes and ensures a stable interface with tracheostomy ties or tube holders, promoting skin health and stability.

XLT Tracheostomy Tube with Proximal Extension Lightweight, Medical-Grade Materials

Constructed from biocompatible materials, the XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube is both lightweight and durable. Its smooth surface minimizes irritation to the airway and surrounding tissue, which is especially important for long-term users.

Radiopaque for Imaging and Placement Accuracy

The tube is radiopaque, allowing for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy. This aids in verifying placement, adjusting positioning as needed, and monitoring long-term anatomical changes, particularly in complex cases.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Designed with reusability in mind, this uncuffed tracheostomy tube can be cleaned and cared for according to clinical guidelines. Its smooth design resists buildup and supports hygiene in both hospital and home care environments.
