Abstract: The disclosure relates to a hood (100) for humidifying air entering into a tracheostomy valve (190) comprising: a container (102) having a front wall (104) and a rear wall (108), the rear wall (108) being configured to face an inlet (192) of the tracheostomy valve (190); the container (102) comprising a material (110) enclosed by the front wall (104) and the rear wall (108); and a channel (112), extending through the front wall (104), extending pass the material (110) and extending through the rear wall (108), allowing exterior air (120) to flow through the container (102) to the tracheostomy valve (190) during inhalation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tracheostomy valve configured to be in fluid communication with a patient's trachea. The valve comprising a hollow valve body, a flexible membrane adapted to work as a check valve opening the valve when the patient inhales and sealingly closing the valve when the patient exhales, and a cap with at least one through hole making the cap fenestrated. The hollow valve body having a through hole forming a passageway for fluid extending between an inner end being an outlet of the hollow valve body and an outer end being an inlet of the hollow valve body. The fenestrated cap being configured to be detachably attached to the outer valve body end, and the inner valve body end is configured to be in fluid communication with the patient's trachea.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breathing-speaking valve intended to be used as a speaking valve of patients requiring filtration of inspiration air inhaled via tracheostomas and are mounted on a tracheal tube, which breathing-speaking valve includes a valve housing (1) inended to be attached to the tracheal tube and which comprises a check valve in the form of a membrane (10), which check valve opens when the patient inhales and closes at expiration and filter (7) for filtration of the inspiration air, which filter is located within this membrane, and optional, a nipple (6) for connection to a oxygen apparatus for oxygen delivery to the inspiration air whereby the filter (7) is laying against a number of ribs (5) located in the bottom (2) of the valve housing (1) and a nipple (6) for connection to a oxygen apparatus is mounted substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the valve housing (1) by the bottom of the valve housing (1), and said nipple (6) opens into the space (14) defined by t

Abstract: A breathing aid for laryngotomoy tracheostomy patients includes a filter house made from plastics material, which is provided to receive a replaceable filter and which is made in one piece with a cover having perforations, the cover being provided to close the filter house via a flexible integral hinge strip. The breathing aid includes a hood applicable upon the cover and having a downwardly directed suction channel through which the inhaled air has to pass before it reaches the filter, the hood having a recess which by cooperation with the hinge strip guarantees the correct orientation of the hood and holds it in this position. The filter house can be secured to an adhesive foil which has rectangular or square shape and the filter house is so orientated in relation to the foil that the pivot axis of the hinge will be parallel to one of the sides of the foil.
