The Shiley 80XLTCP is a generously sized adult tracheostomy tube engineered to address challenging anatomical scenarios, particularly where the distance from skin to tracheal wall is increased—such as in patients with thick or full necks. With an inner diameter of 8.0 mm and an outer diameter of about 13.3 mm, it supports substantial airflow with relatively lower resistance. The proximal extension means extra length is placed before the radial bend (toward the stoma/neck), allowing better comfort and fit in the neck region. Its total length of ~105 mm ensures adequate reach for many adults, with ~30 mm proximal, ~40 mm radial, and ~35 mm distal segments. The disposability of the inner cannula via a twist‑lock mechanism makes maintenance practical without disturbing the outer tube position.

A key feature of the 80XLTCP is its high‑volume, low‑pressure cuff, designed to seal the airway when needed (e.g., during ventilator use or protecting from aspiration) while minimizing pressure on the tracheal mucosa. The flexible, soft, free‑swiveling neck flange helps reduce irritation at the stoma site and allows caregivers to inspect skin and tissue around the tube more easily. Also included is a radiopaque line running tip to tip, aiding verification of tube placement via imaging. The materials are selected for flexibility, patient comfort, and sterility (the product is supplied sterile and intended for single‑patient use).

Clinically, this tube is suited for patients who need an airway that both seals and accommodates non‑standard anatomy—that is, thicker soft tissue or recessed stomas. It’s particularly useful in prolonged ventilation settings, where cuff sealing is needed, or in patients with risk of aspiration. The disposable inner cannula reduces risks of lumen obstruction and simplifies cleaning. However, because of the increased length and bulk, clinicians must ensure the tube is properly secured, cuffs inflated carefully to avoid overdistension, and monitor for pressure points, leakage, or displacement. Proper sizing is critical to avoid issues such as pressure injury or difficulty in inserting devices (e.g., suction catheters) through the lumen.

This medical supply or implant item is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's packaging, which remains undamaged. The inner and outer packaging is intact, ensuring the product's integrity and suitability for medical use.
