Optimize uncuffed tracheostomy care in patients with challenging neck anatomy using the Portex adjustable-flange tube. This sterile, single-use device combines a low-dead-space, uncuffed lumen with an easy slide-and-lock flange—enabling rapid positioning, secure fixation, and uncomplicated tube changes without cuff inflation.
