Covidien 5CN70H Shiley 7.0mm I.D. Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffed w/ Disposable Inner Cannula

• Model: 5CN70H
• 7.0mm I.D.

The 5CN70H Shiley flexible tracheostomy tube is built for adult use when mechanical ventilation or airway protection is needed, especially in patients who benefit from a cuffed tube. The tube's TaperGuard™ cuff is engineered in a tapered shape which reduces lateral wall pressure on the trachea compared with more traditional cuff designs. This helps to minimize tissue trauma, improves sealing against aspiration, and reduces leakage, which is especially important under positive pressure ventilation. The inclusion of this cuff enables better control of airway leak and more effective ventilatory management.

Because it has a 7.0 mm internal diameter, the tube allows for relatively low resistance airflow, which is helpful for ventilator support or spontaneous breathing trials. The corresponding outer diameter of 10.1 mm strikes a balance between strength/stability and minimizing bulk in the tracheal stoma. The tube length of 68 mm is designed for typical adult airway length, allowing the distal tip to reach an appropriate position without putting undue pressure on the carina while still permitting safe maneuvering. Beveling on the tip helps with insertion and reduces trauma during placement. The built‑in 15‑mm connector allows seamless integration with standard respiratory circuits.

The disposable inner cannula is a practical feature: it allows clinicians to remove, clean, or replace the inner cannula without removing the whole tracheostomy tube, which helps with secretion management, hygiene, and reducing the risk of obstruction. The flange is soft, conforming, and transparent, helping with skin monitoring around the stoma site and potentially reducing irritation. The materials used are latex‑free and use non‑DEHP plasticizers, which are important for patients with sensitivities, and for general safety. This device is intended for single‑use or with disposable inner cannula components, ensuring sterility. Overall, the 5CN70H is meant to offer a balance of comfort, airway sealing, and ease of maintenance.
