A laryngectomy tube is a curved, hollow medical device designed to keep the tracheostoma open following a laryngectomy procedure. By maintaining this airway, the tube helps prevent the surgical opening from narrowing during the recovery process.
These devices are typically constructed from soft silicone or plastic and are intended for repeated use by the patient. They are often secured with a neck strap and may feature specific designs, such as fenestrations, to accommodate the use of speech valves.
