Cuffed Tracheostomy Tube Bivona® FlexTend™ TTS™ Size 3.0 Neonate

This cuffed tracheostomy tube is a Bivona FlexTend TTS neonatal tube in size 3.0 mm. It is intended for neonatal and pediatric patients who require intermittent or temporary cuff use, and the extended-length proximal shaft helps keep external devices and ventilator connections away from the child’s neck for greater mobility. Soft silicone, a wire-embedded shaft for kink resistance, and a beveled low-trauma tip support comfort and handling.
