Shiley versus Bivona Tracheostomy Tubes. What is the Difference? Life with a Vent

Shiley and Bivona are two brands of tracheostomy tubes used to assist with breathing for various medical conditions. While there are some similarities between the two, there are also some differences. Knowing which tracheostomy tube to use is essential when trying to manage your breathing needs. Join me this week as I briefly discuss key features and some pros and cons to each tracheostomy tube. #lifewithavent #trach

    Lots of great, and important, information! Helpful for planning ahead, as well. It’s just anecdotal, but it seems like people get sleepy when the seasons change. Regardless, I hope you feel better soon.

    Thank you so much for your great videos! They are exceptionally well thought out, thorough, accurate ….and kindhearted. My wife has had a tracheostomy and ventilator for the last 5 months, and will likely always need them now. She has been a quadriplegic for 23 years, and her lungs have gotten worse over the years. Your videos have provided invaluable information that has made our transition to this new phase of her difficult life more tolerable. Our faith in our loving and omnipotent God, supportive family and friends, and good medical care have sustained us; and vital practical information such as that provided by your videos fill in much needed guidance that somehow doesn’t get conveyed by medical personnel and vendors. Thank you again, and God bless you!

    Some Bivona tubes have “Flextend” cannulas which extend past the neck :)

    Do other tracheostomy tubes have metal in them or just the bivona?

    There are metal tracheostomy tubes. Those trach tubes are made from stainless steel or sterling silver. The Bivona is the only non-metal trach tube which has metal in it.
