Atos Medical TRACOE Phon Assist Speaking Valve

TRACOE Speaking Valve is a unique tool meant to assist people who have tracheostomies in regaining their speech. This valve permits air to pass through the vocal cords during exhale, facilitating phonation, and permits air to enter the tracheostomy tube during inhalation.

Features:

• The primary function of the TRACOE Speaking Valve is to facilitate speech in patients with tracheostomies by allowing exhaled air to pass through the vocal cords.
• Designed as a one-way valve that permits airflow during inhalation but closes during exhalation to direct air towards the vocal cords.
• Small and lightweight, the valve is comfortable to wear and does not significantly add to the weight of the tracheostomy tube.
• Compatible with most standard tracheostomy tubes and easy to attach and remove.
• Some models offer adjustable resistance to accommodate individual patient needs and comfort levels.
• Allows patients to communicate verbally, improving their overall quality of life and ability to interact with others.
