description
The Shiley Phonate Speaking Valve is designed to eliminate
the need to use your finger to block the opening of your
trach tube in order to talk. It is a one-way valve that attaches
to the 15 mm connector of your trach tube, including
pediatric sizes. It is available without an oxygen port (SSV)
or with an oxygen port (SSVO).
Contraindications
The Shiley™ Phonate Speaking Valve is not for use with
patients who have laryngeal stenosis, vocal cord paralysis,
severe tracheal stenosis, airway obstruction, respiratory
infection or heavy pulmonary mucus secretions.
How the Shiley phonate Speaking Valve Works
™
When the Phonate Speaking Valve is attached to the 15 mm
connector or hub of a fenestrated or cuffless tracheostomy
tube, the valve opens when you breathe in, allowing air to
enter your lungs. When you breathe out, the valve closes and
causes air to go up your windpipe and through your vocal
cords, allowing speech.
