Shiley Size 4 Decannulation Plug

Shiley Size 4 Decannulation Plug

Manufacturer: Kendall Healthcare

Shiley Size 4 Decannulation Plug is a specialized tracheostomy accessory designed to support the decannulation process by temporarily occluding a tracheostomy tube. Commonly used under clinical supervision, this plug allows patients to breathe normally through the upper airway, helping assess readiness for safe tracheostomy removal.

Features:

-When inserted into a compatible Shiley Size 4 tracheostomy tube, the decannulation plug blocks airflow through the tube, redirecting breathing through the nose and mouth. 

-The plug ensures a secure and proper fit. Correct sizing is critical for patient safety and effective evaluation during weaning from the tracheostomy.

-Smooth, rounded construction to allow comfortable insertion and removal while minimizing irritation to the tracheostomy tube and surrounding tissue.
