Smiths Medical 101/815/060 Bivona Uncuffed Neonatal Tracheostomy Tube - 6.0mm V-Style Neck Flange

Bivona Neonatal Tracheostomy Tube | Uncuffed | 6.0mm I.D. | 101/815/060

The Bivona 101/815/060 is a premium neonatal airway solution engineered for the delicate requirements of infant patients. Constructed from medical-grade, wire-reinforced silicone, this tube provides a unique combination of structural integrity and soft flexibility. Unlike rigid PVC alternatives, the Bivona silicone material is designed to be atraumatic to the tracheal mucosa, making it the clinical gold standard for long-term neonatal respiratory support.

Featuring the specialized Neonatal V-Style flange, this tube is contoured to fit the specific neck anatomy of an infant, distributing pressure evenly to mitigate the risk of skin breakdown—a critical concern in neonatal nursing.

Key Performance Features

• Wire-Reinforced Silicone: The integrated wire coil ensures the lumen remains patent and kink-resistant, providing a secure airway even during patient movement or repositioning.

• Hydrophobic Material: The medical-grade silicone resists protein encrustation and biofilm buildup, which is essential for maintaining a clear airway in patients with thick secretions.

• V-Style Neck Flange: Specifically shaped for neonatal anatomy, the fixed flange provides a stable, low-profile fit that reduces interference with the chin and jawline.

• Radiopaque Construction: The entire tube body is radiopaque, allowing for precise verification of the distal tip position via X-ray without the need for a separate indicator line.

• Atraumatic Insertion: Each kit includes a dedicated obturator with a rounded tip, facilitating a smooth, controlled insertion process.
