Portex Blue Line
Structure: Cuffed, single-cannula, 90-degree cur­vature to the shaft
Material: Siliconized polyvinyl chloride Manufacturer: Smiths Medical Unique Features: The Blue Line tube is identifi-
able by its blue neck flange, inflation line, and pilot balloon Use: For the patient who requires a cuff, yet for whom secretions are not a concern; however, a separate inner cannula can be used when necessary

The Portex Blue Line series of tracheostomy tubes is primarily single­cannula tubes; however, they do have a corrugated inner cannula that can be used when needed (ordered separately). When used, the inner cannula de­creases the diameter of the airway by 2 mm. The Blue Line cuffed tracheostomy tube is recognizable by its soft, flexible blue neck flange and shaft as well as its blue pilot balloon and inflation line. The Blue Line tracheostomy tubes have a 90% curvature to the shaft, and the inflation line is buried within the outer cannula. The Blue Line tracheostomy tube has a teardrop shaped cuff, which is thought to allow better placement of the tube within the airway.

The Portex Blue Line Ultra series of tracheostomy tubes is very similar to the standard Portex Blue Line tubes but with a larger curvature. This feature theoretically allows the cuff to be more centrally placed within the airway. The inner cannula of the Blue Line Ultra decreases the diameter of the airway by 1 mm, as opposed to 2 mm for the other Portex tracheostomy tubes.
There is also a type of Blue Line Ultra tracheostomy tube that provides an extra port for subglottic suctioning of secretions that accumulate above the cuff (Suctionaid). One of the most unique features of the Blue Line Ultra is the pres­ence of a central channel through the obturator that can accommodate a guide wire for insertion.

Structure: Cuffed, single-cannula Material: Silicone Manufacturer: Smiths Medical Unique Features: 360-degree swivel adapter; soft, “low-trauma” tip Use: For the patient who requires a cuff, yet for whom secretions
are not a concern
The Bivona Mid-Range Aire-Cuf tracheostomy tube has a flexible neck flange, a white inflation line, and a blue pilot balloon.
All of the Bivona tracheostomy tubes, regardless of the line, are constructed entirely of silicone and are more flexible. The theoretical advantage to silicone is that secretions are less likely to adhere to the material; however, no studies have been done to verify this claim. All Bivona tracheostomy tubes are single­cannula tubes and have 360-degree swivel adapters to accommodate some patient movement. Bivona tracheostomy tubes also come with a disconnect wedge, which is helpful because the 15-mm swivel connector can sometimes get wedged into the adaptor of a manual resuscitation bag or ventilator tubing. The forceful removal of any device from a Bivona tracheostomy tube can result in permanent damage to the tube, so the use of the disconnect wedge is advised whenever removing any device from this tube.
There have been two important manufacturing changes to adult Bivona tra­cheostomy tubes. First, the swivel mechanism has been replaced with a single­molded piece as the 15-mm connector. Second, the solid obturators have been redesigned to be hollow. This redesign supports the introduction of a guide wire as a tube exchanger (personal communication Mark Lareau, Smiths Medical, November 2008).

The Arcadia line of tracheostomies is new to the United States as of January
2009. The line is constructed of silicone and consists of single-cannula trache­ostomy tubes. The neck flange has a 15-mm swivel connector, and a disconnect wedge is included to facilitate the removal of respiratory equipment.
The curvature of many of the Arcadia tracheostomy tubes is unique in that they have a more horizontal orientation to the proximal portion of the shaft while the distal portion has a more vertical orientation, giving a 90-degree angle to the tube.

Bivona Fome-Cuf
Structure: Cuffed, single-cannula Material: Silicone Manufacturer: Smiths Medical Unique Features: Foam-filled cuff that
expands automatically to fit tracheal diameter Use: For the patient who has repeated cuff leaks and does not desire to speak

The Bivona Fome-Cuf tracheostomy tube is constructed entirely of silicone. The Fome-Cuf tube is unique in that it provides a large, self-inflating cuff that adjusts itself to the patient’s trachea. Once in place, the pilot balloon should remain open to air at all times, and no additional air should be injected into this cuff. This tracheostomy tube is inserted by first deflating the cuff completely. Because of the extra-large cuff, this is often best done with the large syringe and three-way stopcock that come in the tracheostomy kit. The deflated cuff is particularly bulky; however, when inflated it is usually able to provide a com­plete seal within the airway.
The Fome-Cuf tracheostomy tube is often chosen when positive-pressure ventilation is required, yet because of this a good seal is difficult because of a continued leak around the outside of the tracheostomy tube. Over time, mois­ture may collect within the cuff especially when using the ventilator adapter, so routine cuff deflation is recommended every 8 hours. It is recommended that this tracheostomy tube be routinely changed at least every month to minimize the collection of moisture and debris and prevent solidification within the cuff.
If the ventilator tubing should become difficult to remove from the 15-mm connector of the tube, the Fome-Cuf tube has a disconnect wedge that can be used as a lever to simplify removal. Forceful attempts to remove the tubing can

result in damage to the tracheostomy tube itself. The manufacturer’s recom­mendations state that these tracheostomy tubes should not be used with lasers or electrosurgical devices.

Bivona TTS (Tight-to-Shaft)
Structure: Cuffed, single-cannula Material: Silicone Manufacturer: Smiths Medical Unique Features: When this high-
pressure cuff is deflated, it lies tight to the shaft, minimizing resistance when breathing around the tube (when prolonged cuff inflation in desired, it should be inflated with sterile water); other than the Arcadia CTS tube, the TTS tracheostomy tube is the only cuffed tube that may be safely capped when deflated Use: Ideal for the patient who requires intermittent positive-pressure ventila­tion yet who also desires to speak

The Bivona Tight-to-Shaft, or TTS, tracheostomy tube is constructed of sili­cone material and provides some flexibility. It is a single-cannula tracheostomy tube whose most notable feature is its cuff, which, when deflated, lies tight to the shaft of the tube—hence its name. The TTS is ideally suited for the patient who may require intermittent cuff inflation (perhaps for nocturnal ventilation) yet who wishes to speak at intervals when the cuff is deflated. The TTS design provides laminar flow around the outside of the tube, so it can be capped to allow phonation. (The details of phonation will be discussed in chapter 6.) It is important to note that the cuff of the TTS is a high-pressure cuff, so precautions must be taken to minimize pressure against the tracheal wall. This is best done with the minimal leak technique.
The cuff of the TTS tracheostomy tube is inflated with sterile water (not sa­line) in order to minimize gas permeability across the cuff that might otherwise result when air is used for cuff inflation. This gas permeability is manifested as cuff deflation over time. The TTS tracheostomy tube is packaged with a dis­connection wedge to be used in case the ventilator tubing becomes difficult to

remove from the 15-mm connector. If force is used, the TTS tracheostomy tube can become damaged.
Arcadia Silicone CTS Cuff (Close-to-Shaft)
Structure: Cuffed, single-cannula, curved shaft
Material: Silicone Manufacturer: Arcadia Medical
Corporation Unique Features: When the high­pressure cuff is deflated, it lies close to the shaft, minimizing resistance when breathing around the tube (when prolonged cuff inflation is desired, it should be inflated with sterile water); the CTS tracheostomy tube is one of only two cuffed tracheostomy tubes that may be safely capped when deflated (the other is the Bivona TTS) Use: Ideal for the patient who requires intermittent positive-pressure ventila-

The Arcadia Silicone CTS Cuff tracheostomy tube has a radiopaque sili­cone shaft with a curved design to make insertion and removal easier. It has a silicone cuff that lies flat against the shaft when deflated. Like the Bivona TTS, it is a single-cannula tracheostomy tube with a high-pressure cuff, and its cuff should be inflated with sterile water.
Single-Cannula Cuffless Tracheostomy Tubes
Single-cannula cuffless tracheostomy tubes are used when exclusive breath­ing through the tube is not necessary (or not desired) and secretions are not a concern.
