• The 9IC90 is a sterile, latex‑free, disposable inner cannula designed specifically for use with the Shiley™ Flexible Adult Tracheostomy Tube (model 9CN90A with TaperGuard™ cuff, or 9UN90A cuffless). It features an 8.0 mm internal diameter and a total outer diameter of 12.7 mm, with a length of 79 mm, matching the tube’s specifications and facilitating safe, effective airflow and secretion management. Delivered in boxes of 10, each cannula includes a snap-lock 15 mm connector for quick, secure disposal after single use.

• Clinically, this disposable inner cannula plays a critical role in routine tracheostomy maintenance—allowing healthcare providers to remove and replace the cannula regularly to prevent obstruction from mucus, crusting, or biofilm accumulation. This not only helps maintain airway patency but also reduces risk of complications, as discussed by respiratory therapists who emphasize that Shiley tubes are typically used with an inner cannula in place, except during cleaning procedures. The disposable design ensures hygiene and simplifies infection control protocols.

• Manufactured by Medtronic under the Covidien brand, the 9IC90 is intended for single-patient use, packaged sterile, and integrated seamlessly with the Shiley flexible tracheostomy system. Its compatibility, combined with the convenience of disposability, supports safe airway management in both inpatient and outpatient care settings. Whether used in critical care, long‑term ventilated patients, or step‑down units, the 9IC90 cannula ensures maintenance of airway integrity and patient safety.
