Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube – 8.5 mm, Adult-EA

The Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube – 8.5 mm, Adult is engineered for adult patients who require tracheostomy airway support without cuff inflation. Manufactured by Medtronic, this tube maintains airway patency while permitting airflow around the tube, making it appropriate for patients who can manage secretions and do not require positive-pressure ventilation.

With an 8.5 mm inner diameter, this size provides enhanced airflow capacity for adult patients who require a larger lumen. The soft, flexible tube construction conforms comfortably to patient anatomy, helping reduce irritation and improve tolerance during extended use.

Designed for single-patient, single-use, this tracheostomy tube supports infection prevention protocols and consistent clinical performance. It is commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare environments under professional supervision.
