1 . Cuff
The "balloon" on the end of the trach tube. When inflated, it forms a seal against the wall of your
windpipe. This stops the air flow through your mouth and nose so that you breathe through the
trach tube.
2 . inflation line
Thin plastic tubing that carries air to and from the cuff.
3 . pilot Balloon
Small plastic balloon-like component on the end of the inflation line. It indicates if air is in the cuff.
4 . luer Valve
Where the syringe is connected to inflate or deflate the cuff.
5 . Soft Swivel neck flange
Contains product designation and size information. Twill ties or Shiley™ tracheostomy tube holders
attach through the holes on either side securing the tube to your neck. Soft swivel design helps to
position the tube properly and comfortably.
6 . disposable inner Cannula (diC)
The tube that fits inside your trach tube. Designed for single use only. Do not reuse or clean. Re-
place with a new one as directed by your doctor or home healthcare provider.
7 . fenestration (dfEn & dCfn)
A hole on the curved part of the trach tube. When the fenestrated outer cannula is used, the non-
fenestrated inner cannula is removed, allowing air to flow through the vocal cords, mouth and nose
so you can speak.
8 . 15 mm Connector
Part of the inner cannula that sticks out at the neck. An artificial nose, ventilator tubing, manual
resuscitation bag or Shiley™ Phonate Speaking Valve may be connected to this.
9 . disposable decannulation plug (ddCp)
For use with DFEN and DCFN. Attaches to the trach tube opening when the inner cannula has
been removed and cuff has been deflated. Directs air through fenestration to your mouth and nose.
