What our Experts Think
-
Flexible and gentle β Made of soft medical-grade silicone, the tube conforms to an infantβs trachea, reducing irritation and trauma compared with rigid plastic alternatives.
-
Tight-to-Shaft (TTS) cuff design β The cuff stays snug against the shaft when deflated, acting like an uncuffed tube, but can be inflated to provide a secure airway seal when needed.
-
Reinforced silicone shaft β Wire-reinforced for kink and crush resistance while maintaining flexibility, ensuring safety and reliability in neonatal care.
-
Airway protection β Inflated cuff supports positive-pressure ventilation and helps reduce the risk of air leak or aspiration in ventilated infants.
-
Adaptable through care stages β Can be used throughout different stages of care: intensive support, weaning, and more natural airway use, minimizing the need for multiple tube changes.
