EA/1 - Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. Bivona FlexTend TTS Pediatric Straight Neck Flange Tracheostomy Tubes, Size 5.5

108mm L, Silicone, 5-1/2mm I.D x 8mm O.D., Pediatric, SuperSlick® Coating, Sterile, Latex-Free

Portex® Bivona® FlexTend™ TTS™ tracheostomy tubes are designed for neonatal and pediatric patients who require intermittent or temporary cuff use. Bivona® FlexTend™ TTS™ tracheostomy tubes can be reprocessed up to five times and are made of soft, natural, biocompatible silicone that is intended to be gentle on sensitive body tissues.

• A SuperSlick® coating applied to the silicone surfaces aids in tube insertion, removal, cleaning and reinsertion, most beneficial to patients, clinicians and homecare providers.
• The extended-length proximal shaft keeps external devices and ventilator connections away from the child’s neck, providing a greater range of mobility which is intended to reduce the risk of stoma irritation.
• Wire embedded in the tubes shaft helps resist kinking, and a beveled, low-trauma tip provides added comfort and flexibility.
• The wire is non-ferrous, producing less distortion in medical imaging than conventional wire.
