Compared to standard pediatric tracheostomy tubes, the FlexTend Plus design offers superior flexibility and positioning adaptability due to its extended proximal tube. Unlike rigid or shorter tubes, it reduces stress on the stoma site and allows better access during prone care. While traditional polyvinyl or PVC tubes may stiffen over time, this silicone-based tube maintains softness. It outperforms basic models in mobility support but may cost more than conventional alternatives.
