    Area of Science:

    • Laryngology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Speech Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Established voice prostheses like the Blom-Singer and Panje have limitations.
    • These include patient selection criteria, risk of aspiration, and maintenance issues such as taping.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel voice prosthesis designed to overcome the disadvantages of existing devices.
    • To present a universally applicable, self-maintaining, and aspiration-proof solution for vocal rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new tracheostoma button integrated with a duckbill Silastic valve.
    • The design focuses on ease of use, secure fit without taping, and prevention of aspiration.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The new prosthesis demonstrates universal applicability, unlike previous models.
  • It requires no taping, is self-maintaining, and eliminates the possibility of aspiration.
  • The device is simple to change and manage.

    • Conclusions:

    • This new voice prosthesis offers a significant improvement over the Blom-Singer and Panje devices.
    • It provides a more accessible and reliable option for vocal rehabilitation in laryngectomees.
    • Proper surgical technique (cephalad puncture) is crucial for optimal function.
