Tracheostomy Speaking Valves
Tracheostomy Speaking Valves
A tracheostomy speaking valve fits the hub of a tracheostomy tube and opens on inhalation, closing on exhalation so exhaled air is redirected through the upper airway. Valves are made in configurations for standard 15 mm tracheostomy tube hubs, ventilator circuits, and metal tracheostomy tubes, and are commonly color-coded so a model can be identified at a glance. This selection covers the connection sizes and configurations clinicians specify.
