Tracheostomy Supplies in Canada

Frequently Asked Questions about Tracheostomy Supplies

What types of tracheostomy supplies are available?
Our collection includes cuffed and cuffless tracheostomy tubes, fenestrated tubes, flexible tracheostomy tubes with TaperGuard cuffs, disposable and reusable inner cannulas, trach tube holders, drain sponges, and infection control kits.

What is the difference between cuffed and cuffless tracheostomy tubes?
Cuffed tracheostomy tubes feature an inflatable balloon that seals the airway, helping to prevent aspiration and improve ventilation support. Cuffless tubes are often used for patients who can breathe and swallow effectively without additional airway sealing.

What are fenestrated tracheostomy tubes used for?
Fenestrated trach tubes have openings (fenestrations) that allow air to pass through the vocal cords, enabling patients to speak more easily while using the tracheostomy tube.

Do you carry replacement inner cannulas?
Yes. We stock both disposable and reusable inner cannulas in multiple sizes, designed to fit Shiley and other leading tracheostomy tube systems. Regular replacement helps maintain airway hygiene and reduce infection risks.

What accessories are available for tracheostomy care?
Our collection includes tracheostomy tube holders, neckbands, gauze sponges, fasteners, and infection control trays—everything needed to provide safe and hygienic tracheostomy care.

How do I keep the tracheostomy site clean?
Daily care should include cleaning around the stoma, replacing drain sponges or dressings, and regularly checking the tube and inner cannula. Using sterile supplies reduces the risk of infection.

Which brands do you carry?
We stock trusted brands such as Shiley, Covidien, Hollister, and Ambu, known for high-quality tracheostomy products widely used in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

Who should use these tracheostomy supplies?
These products are essential for patients with long-term airway support needs, those recovering from surgery, or individuals requiring assisted ventilation. They are suitable for both hospital use and home tracheostomy care.
