Shiley™ paediatric oral/nasal endotracheal tube with TaperGuard™ cuff

Specification

Designed for your smallest patients.

Kids are not little adults. That’s why they need endotracheal tube solutions customised to their unique anatomy.

Overview

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.1

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.1,2
