The Shiley™ endotracheal tube with TaperGuard™ cuff technology product portfolio provides a variety of enhancements compared to legacy products.
Reduced pressure on the tracheal wall

- Sore throat
- Hoarseness
- Restricted blood flow
- Tracheal lesions
- Morbidity
Shiley™ endotracheal tubes with TaperGuard™ cuff technology have been shown to reduce the tracheal pressure area by as much as 29 percent compared to those with Hi-Lo™ cuff.2,3 additionally, Shiley™ endotracheal tubes with TaperGuard™ cuff technology have been found to reduce the incidence and severity of sore throat after surgical procedures.4
