Discover Our Commitment to Tracheostomy Care
Tracheostomy patients and healthcare professionals face many challenges, but with the right knowledge and resources, confidence grows—and so do outcomes.
Every tracheostomy journey is unique, whether it’s short-term, mid-term, or long-term. Providing the right support at every stage is essential for recovery, independence, and quality of life.
Starting the journey in ICU
Discover how our percutaneous dilation tracheostomy set and our range of primary tracheostomy tubes with minimally traumatic insertion systems are supporting modern tracheostomy care.
Enhancing Communication for Ventilated Patients with a Tracheostomy
In the ICU, patients on invasive mechanical ventilation often face communication barriers due to the inflated tracheostomy tube cuff. Learn how Above Cuff Vocalization (ACV) can transform communication for these patients. Studies show ACV enables vocalization in 50% to 80% of patients where cuff deflation is not feasible, improving phonation, cough, swallow function, and overall quality of life.1-4
Explore the benefits and evidence supporting ACV in our comprehensive resources. Learn how this approach can enhance patient care and outcomes.
From Insertion to Decannulation
As companions throughout the patient's journey, our tracheostomy tubes and supportive accessories like HMEs and one-way speaking valves encourage an active weaning process, encouraging decannulation or help to achieve a more comfortable life in neurological and ENT long-term patients.
