The Covidien 8DIC Shiley 7.6mm Disposable Inner Cannula is a disposable component designed for use with Shiley tracheostomy tubes. This 7.6mm inner cannula is essential for maintaining an open airway by facilitating easy cleaning and removal of the cannula for routine care. The disposable design ensures that healthcare providers can replace the inner cannula as needed, helping to reduce the risk of infection and improve patient outcomes by maintaining a hygienic airway environment. This can be particularly important in long-term tracheostomy care settings, such as in ICUs, long-term care facilities, and for home care patients.

Made from medical-grade plastic, the inner cannula is lightweight yet durable, ensuring that it does not interfere with the patient’s comfort or breathing. The 7.6mm size is tailored to fit Shiley tracheostomy tubes that accommodate this diameter, ensuring a snug and secure fit that prevents air leakage. The ability to replace the inner cannula regularly helps to maintain optimal airflow and ensures that the patient’s airway remains clear of mucus and debris, which is vital for ventilated patients or those with impaired coughing reflexes.

The sterile, single-use packaging of the Covidien 8DIC ensures that each cannula is free from contaminants, reducing the risk of infection. The ease of insertion and removal of the inner cannula provides convenience for clinicians during routine care. The 10 cannulas per box offer sufficient quantity for regular replacements, making it a cost-effective solution for healthcare facilities. Regular replacement of the inner cannula is vital for preventing blockages and maintaining optimal airway management, making the 8DIC a critical part of tracheostomy care for both short- and long-term patients.
