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 a precise fit of the cannula in the anterior tracheal wall.

A procedural video detailing the use of the tracheal fenestrator and insertion of the short-term cannula is available. Following the fenestration and insertion procedure, the Short-Term Cannula can be left in place for several weeks and should then 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. Also available are 15 mm adaptors, and additional faceplates and plug/ring sets.
