Shikani Speaking Valve (Models Ssvw, Ssvt And Ssvb)

The Shikani Speaking Valve, models SSVW, SSVT and SSVB is an assistive speech device designed for use by individuals with a tracheostomy. These small, lightweight one-way and two-way capable valves attach to tracheostomy tubes and allow the inflow and outflow of air so users can speak without manual occlusion. The two-way airflow capability also allows users the option to use an heat and moisture exchanger (HME) in conjunction with this valve. The Shikani Speaking Valve uses a ball valve to lower airflow resistance and adapt to the flow and closure needs of individual users. It fits most standard permanent or disposable trach tubes. DIMENSIONS: The length is .81 inches; the diameter is .72 inches. COLOR: White (model SSVW), tan (SSVT) and blue (SSVB).
