Product features:
- Speaking valve with closed basic position of the silicone membrane
- With integrated oxygen supply port
- Particularly flat design (low profile)
- With 15 mm connector
- Available in five different colour schemes
- Thanks to its special shape, the speaking valve is not bulky and offers particular freedom of movement.
It is therefore also ideal for use with children. - Enables particularly effective phonation
How does it work?
- A special feature of this speaking valve is the closed basic position of the silicone membrane
- The membrane only opens briefly during inspiration and reacts to even very weak inhalation
- Afterwards it automatically returns to the tightly sealed basic position without exhalation pressure (expiration pressure) being required (an extremely short shutting time); phonation therefore does not require any build-up of expiration pressure
- The expiration air is channelled completely via the larynx and upper respiratory tract
- This enables the formation of speech (phonation) and expectoration of secretions
Indication
- Spontaneously breathing tracheostomized patients with sufficient tidal volume (adults & children).
(The use on laryngectomized patients is contraindicated!)
