Back in December, I switched from a Shiley cuffed to a Shiley cuffless trach. The transition has been just fine except that my secretions have been a bit on...
You won't be sorry that you switched to a Bivona. I switch to a Bivona a
little over a year ago after having a Shiley for 22 years. Shiley's are
barbaric,...
Mark, I don't know very much about traches, but maybe you should just go back to the cuffed one, since that worked well for you? When you get your new one,...

Hi Mark. I've used nothing but Portex trachs for three years and have no problems with speech. I can fully understand your concern because when I first had my...
Thanks for the information Mark. I'll check this one out. Good luck with your new trach. I am fortunate in that I have never had to have one so I don't...
Was your Shiley a cuffed trach? If that was the case, I totally agree with you. When I first got trached I had a cuffed shiley and every time I had it changed...
Gyle is right .I agree totally. I've been using Bivonas (TTS) for years. Hate Shileys. Try bivona.You might have to try a couple of different sizes for the...

Bob, The cuffed trach I previously used was hard and painful to change. The cuffless works great but I just need to find the right one. I sure will give you a...
Gyle, Thanks for sharing your Bivona experiences with me. Is your Bivona trach cuffed or cuffless? I'm sure you probably heard that Lori left the Development...
I suppose it would be considered a cuffed, but it's called a TTS (tight to
shaft), in which not only don't you feel it when it's being changed, but you
can...
ahem, those were a couple of interesting pictures attached to your post. haven't seen anything like that here before. Gyle Peterson wrote: I suppose it would...
Its cuffed but indiscernible when deflated. TTS type trachs are all I've used since 1982. I used a brand back then called Surgitek. When they stopped making...
Don't see the original post.........but Welcome Rubin! I'm Ines in Rochester MN.. I'm 50, been vent dependent since 1980. Use a PLV-102b at my bedside and an...
