Short-Term Cannula

Description

The Montgomery® Short-Term Cannula is designed for use with an initial tracheotomy. Use of the Montgomery® Tracheal Fenestrator to create the incision is recommended to ensure optimum fit of the cannula in the anterior tracheal wall. A color procedural video detailing the use of the tracheal fenestrator and insertion of the Montgomery® Short-Term Cannula is available from Boston Medical Products.

The Short-Term Cannula can be left in place for several weeks and should be replaced by the Montgomery® Long-Term Cannula to establish a long-term stoma. Each Short-Term Cannula Set includes the tube, one faceplate. One plug/ring set, and product information.
