The Bivona Uncuffed Neonatal Straight Neck Flange Tracheostomy Tubes, by Smiths Medical, have all the features that shared by their relative, the Bivona Uncuffed Neonatal Trach Tubes, yet come equipped with instead a straight neck flange, often needed for certain neonatal patients.
The Bivona Straight Neck Flange tube features the same advantages as other Bivona lines of trach tubes in that they are made of reinforced silicone, which delivers flexibility and softness, as well as being wire reinforced to prevent kinking. The Bivona line of trachs are notably soft because of the silicone construction, which is ideal for young patients. The neck flange is as the title suggests, straight, opposed to the contoured flange utilized by the regular Bivona neonatal uncuffed design.
The Bivona trach tubes are packaged sterile and come with an obturator/introducer, a twill trach tie, and a 15mm disconnect wedge.
Look to the Bivona Uncuffed Pediatric Trach Tube for a larger sizes that accommodate children.
