The disposable surgical set for primary and secondary placement of the Provox Vega.
• Protect – The transparent pharynx protector (intended for primary puncture only) protects the pharyngeal walls.
• Puncture – The puncture needle creates the puncture and is used to introduce the GuideWire through the puncture site.
• Place – The TE puncture is gradually dilated when the dilator, attached to the GuideWire is pulled through the same. The voice prosthesis thereafter slides gently into position.
In a multicenter clinical study 100% of the voice prostheses could be placed using the Provox Vega Puncture Set; 89% of the procedures required no additional instruments.
Includes: 1 Pharynx Protector (made of transparent thermoplastic), 1 Puncture Needle (made of surgical stainless steel), 1 GuideWire (made of pre-colored fluoroplastic), 1 Puncture Dilator with 1 preloaded Provox Vega voice prosthesis and 1 Provox Brush (non sterile).
