1 . Cuff (fEn, lpC)
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 (fEn, lpC)
Thin plastic tubing that carries air to and from the cuff.
3 . pilot Balloon (fEn, lpC)
Small plastic balloon-like component on the end of the inflation line. Indi-
cates if air is in the cuff.
4 . luer Valve (fEn, lpC)
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
cheostomy 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 . Reusable inner Cannula
The tube that fits inside your trach tube. This can be easily detached and
cleaned to remove mucus. FEN and CFN have a fenestrated inner cannula.
7 . fenestration (fEn & Cfn)
A hole on the curved part of the trach tube or inner cannula. When a
fenestrated inner cannula is used or the non-fenestrated inner cannula is
removed, it allows 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, ven-
tilator tubing, manual resuscitation bag or Shiley™ Phonate Speaking Valve
may be connected to this.
9 . low profile Connector (Cfn, CfS, lGT)
Designed so that it doesn't stick out and is less noticeable. It cannot be at-
tached to an artificial nose, ventilator hose or manual resuscitation bag.
10 . decannulation plug (dCp)
For use with FEN and CFN. Attaches to the trach tube opening when the
inner cannula has been removed and the cuff has been deflated. Directs air
through fenestration to your mouth and nose.
11 . CAp
Fits over the green 15 mm connector on the fenestrated inner cannula of an
FEN or CFN when the cuff has been deflated. Directs air through fenestration
to your mouth and nose so you can speak.
