Shiley™ oral and nasal RAE endotracheal tubes with TaperGuard™ cuff feature a preformed curve design intended to reduce kinks and disconnects, maintain a patent airway, and remove the circuits and connectors from the surgical field.
In addition, the RAE tube features the TaperGuard™ cuff technology: A low-pressure cuff that exerts 29% less pressure on the trachea.

With a prepared Shiley™ oral/ nasal endotracheal tube with TaperGuard™ cuff and stylet, clinicians have the tools they need in one sterile, easy-to-access pack — no preloading necessary.
In addition, the Shiley™ oral/nasal endotracheal tube with TaperGuard™ cuff features a low-pressure cuff that exerts 29% less pressure on the trachea.

Shiley™ endotracheal tubes with intermediate cuff can be used for paediatric through adult patients.

DEHP is very toxic and hazardous to organism health and its exposure has been shown to have many adverse effects.¹ Compared to the legacy version, the Shiley™ oral/nasal endotracheal tube with intermediate cuff is made with non-DEHP PVC material, which softens at body temperature and molds to the airway.

Protecting the Smallest Patients

For clinicians who are concerned about phthalates in products used with neonatal and pediatric patients, we now offer a range of cuffless endotracheal tubes made with a non-DEHP plasticizer.

Shiley™ Oxford Oral Tracheal Tube Cuffed beveled tip (aligned to the posterior wall) facilitates the rapidly access the trachea in emergency situations.

Compared to adult anatomy, children have a floppier epiglottis and vocal cords that slant upward. They also have a funnel-shaped larynx, which can be difficult to navigate around, especially due to the narrowing of the cricoid cartilage.
Those factors make using scaled-down versions of adult endotracheal tubes (ETTs) on children risky because doing so can result in airway damage, oxygen deprivation, and ventilation complications.

Designed to Help Reduce Risk of Kinking* and Aspiration

The Shiley™ oral/nasal endotracheal tube, reinforced features a soft, flexible PVC tube with spiral-wound reinforcing wire is designed to help reduce the risk of kinking.*
This tube was designed for neurosurgical or head and neck procedures when the patient’s head is in an extended or flexed position, when patient will be turned over and/or in long-term cases where airway maintenance is critical.

For Facilitation of Endotracheal Tube Intubations

Helps reduce friction between stylet and endotracheal tube for easy endotracheal tube insertion and removal.
