Provides a permanent flexible tube extension on the proximal side of the neck flange. They function to extend the connections away from the neck, chin, and stoma, enhancing patient mobility and comfort. Also reduces tube pressure on the tracheal wall from torque that is transmitted by the weight of attachments to the connector and provides better airway access. Available in the same four I.D., O.D., and length sizes as the standard uncuffed tubes Avoids tube occlusion associated with head flexion Ideal for patients with minimal chin to stoma distance Reduces chin excoriation from tracheostomy tube connections Flexible, kink resistant, silicone shaft Proximal and distal shafts flex independently SuperSlick surface for easy suctioning
