Additional Information for Laryngectomy Cannula
Laryngectomy cannula is a medical device used in the field of otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) surgery. It is specifically designed for patients who have undergone a laryngectomy, which is the surgical removal of the larynx (voice box).
The laryngectomy cannula is a tube-like instrument that is inserted into the stoma, which is the opening created in the neck after the larynx is removed. It serves as a conduit for breathing, allowing air to pass through and reach the lungs. The cannula is typically made of medical-grade materials such as silicone or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and is available in various sizes to accommodate different patient needs.
Laryngectomy cannulas are designed to be comfortable and secure, with features such as adjustable straps or flanges that help keep the cannula in place. Some cannulas also have additional features like voice prosthesis ports, which allow patients to regain their ability to speak by using a voice prosthesis device.
These cannulas are an essential part of post-laryngectomy care, as they help patients maintain a patent airway and facilitate breathing. They are typically prescribed by otolaryngologists or other healthcare professionals who specialize in the management of laryngectomy patients.
In summary, laryngectomy cannulas are medical devices used to assist patients who have undergone a laryngectomy in breathing and maintaining a patent airway. They are part of the broader category of medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies used in the field of otolaryngology.
