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 95mm L, 6mm I.D. x 11mm O.D., Proximal Extension, White Flange Buyer’s Guide

The XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube 95mm L, 6mm I.D. x 11mm O.D., Proximal Extension, White Flange is designed to meet specialized anatomical and clinical needs in patients requiring a tracheostomy. With its extended length and uncuffed design, this tube is optimized for patients with long tracheal anatomy or tracheal irregularities. It provides secure airway access while minimizing discomfort and maximizing positional flexibility.

Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube Extended-Length Design

The 95mm length of this tracheostomy tube is ideal for patients with a longer than average trachea or those requiring more distal placement of the tube. It helps maintain stable airway positioning, even in cases involving tracheal displacement, obesity, or anatomical irregularities. The added length reduces the risk of accidental decannulation and minimizes the need for frequent repositioning.

6mm Internal Diameter for Consistent Airflow

With a 6mm internal diameter, this tracheostomy tube ensures consistent airflow for patients requiring moderate respiratory support. The bore size supports ventilated and spontaneous breathing scenarios, balancing patient comfort with effective airway management. It’s well-suited for adult patients with smaller tracheal lumens.

XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube Proper Fit

The XLT tracheostomy tube’s 11mm outer diameter provides secure tube placement without excessive pressure against the tracheal wall. This reduces the risk of trauma or pressure ulcers within the airway while maintaining proper seal and airway control. The proportional size also helps clinicians gauge stoma size for replacement planning.

Uncuffed Design for Spontaneous Breathing

The uncuffed nature of this tracheostomy tube is perfect for patients who do not require positive pressure ventilation or where airway sealing is unnecessary. It allows for easier phonation and natural airflow, making it a preferred option in long-term use or during weaning from mechanical ventilation. The absence of a cuff reduces tracheal irritation.

XLT Extended-Length Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube with Proximal Extension Enhanced Versatility

This model includes a proximal extension, which increases the working length of the tube outside the tracheostomy stoma. This design provides greater clearance for ventilator tubing, adaptive devices, and neck movement. The extension is particularly helpful for bariatric patients or those in wheelchairs or reclining chairs who need added external length for safe interface connections.

White Flange for Discreet Appearance and Secure Anchoring

The white flange offers a clean, clinical appearance and serves as a strong base for securing the tube in place. It is easy to tape or strap in both hospital and home settings. The flange is made from flexible material that contours gently to the patient’s neck for comfort without sacrificing security.
