The Shiley Flexible Cuffless Tracheostomy Tube (model 8UN85R) is thoughtfully engineered for adult patients needing long-term tracheostomy care without the risk of pressure-related injuries. Utilizing a pliable, non‑DEHP PVC material, the flexible shaft allows for enhanced conformity to tracheal anatomy and promotes greater airflow, which can significantly decrease the work of breathing when the tube is in place. The cuffless design avoids the lateral pressure and ischemia associated with cuffs, further minimizing airway trauma.

Insertion and maintenance are streamlined with the beveled tip and clear, soft flanged design. The beveled tip lowers insertion resistance, making the procedure smoother and safer for patients. The transparent flange incorporates airflow-enhancing openings and is gently contoured to the neck to reduce skin breakdown risk, offering both anatomical comfort and clinical assurance.

Clinicians benefit from the reusable inner cannula system, which allows for quick removal and cleaning, reducing replacement costs and maintaining hygiene efficacy. The integrated 15 mm connector ensures compatibility with standard ventilators and airway devices. Overall, the 8UN85R model balances patient comfort, respiratory support, and operational practicality, making it a strong choice for caregivers initiating or managing long-term tracheostomy.
