Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Shiley Decannulation Cap used for?

Yes, the decannulation cap is made of soft, flexible material that is comfortable for the patient to wear.

Can the decannulation cap be used with any tracheostomy tube?

No, the decannulation cap is available in different sizes to fit various tracheostomy tubes. You should use the appropriate size of decannulation cap for the patient's tracheostomy tube.

How long should the patient wear the decannulation cap?

The length of time the patient should wear the decannulation cap will vary depending on their individual needs and the guidance of their healthcare provider. The cap is typically used under the guidance of a healthcare provider, who will monitor the patient's progress and determine when it is appropriate to remove the tracheostomy tube altogether.

Can the decannulation cap be reused?
