Frequently asked questions
Is the silicone material safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, this tube is constructed from high-quality medical-grade silicone. This material is specifically chosen for pediatric care because it is naturally soft, flexible, and gentle against the skin to minimize irritation.
Does the design really improve mobility for active children?
Absolutely. The Bivona FlexTend Plus features a permanent, flexible tube extension that keeps bulky connections away from the neck and chin. This clever design allows for a greater range of motion and prevents the tube from tugging or catching during movement.
Is this tube suitable for prone positioning?
Yes, this device was specifically engineered to provide superior access for children who require care while in a prone position, making it a highly practical choice for specialized respiratory therapy.
Does the tube include all necessary components for use?
Yes, each unit comes as a complete set. Included in the package are: <ul><li>The tracheostomy tube</li><li>A matching obturator</li><li>A durable twill trach tie for secure fastening</li></ul>
How does the flexible extension enhance comfort?
The integrated extension acts as a buffer between the stoma and the external tube connections. By distancing these connections from the patient’s sensitive neck area, it reduces pressure points and prevents the tube from digging into the chin, which is a common issue with standard tubes.
Are the dimensions accurate for a size 4.5 pediatric fit?
Yes, the specifications are precise to ensure the correct anatomical fit: <ul><li>Inside Diameter: 4.5 mm</li><li>Outside Diameter: 6.7 mm</li><li>Overall Length: 48 mm</li></ul>
Is the tube flexible enough to prevent kinking?
Yes, the medical-grade silicone provides a semi-flexible construction that is designed to maintain its shape while accommodating the natural movements of a child, which helps prevent unwanted kinking while remaining comfortable.
Is this device provided in a sterile condition?
Yes, this product is factory new and arrives sterile, ensuring it is ready for immediate clinical use upon arrival.
How is the tube secured to the patient?
The tube features a V-neck flange design, which is a standard, comfortable shape for securing the device. It comes with a soft, woven twill trach tie that allows for a reliable and adjustable fit.
Is this a standard V-neck flange style?
Yes, the device utilizes the V-neck flange style, which is designed to sit comfortably against the neck and provide a stable base for the tube while maintaining its anatomical profile.
