Abstract: A device for insertion in a tracheostoma which includes a cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis, a flexible flange which is provided on an outer surface of the device body and has unfolded configuration which it extends essentially from the outer surface of the body to the outside and has a folded configuration in which it is folded in the direction towards the longitudinal axis of the device body, as well as a pin-shaped insertion aid having a means for retaining the flange in its bided orientation, wherein the flange is formed by at least two wings each of which have a recess proximate a tip of the wing, in which the retaining means is removably introduced, and the wings have a shape memory that orients the wings, when unrestrained, away from the longitudinal axis of the device body.

Abstract: There is provided a neck patch to be adhered on a tracheostoma, which is very light and has a good respiratory activity and an excellent sealing behavior when adhered on top of a tracheostoma in the neck of a patient. The neck patch is made of a thin, planar, flexible foil having a thickness of between 5 and 30 ?m, which is adhesive on its proximal side only and has a centrically arranged hole on its distal side, and around which a hard, round plastic connector disk having a central recess is arranged, the neck patch further comprising a supporting frame that surrounds the outer edge of the film and is approximately five to ten times thicker than the film so that the neck patch can be positioned without being rolled together.
