A tracheostoma button is a reusable, cylindrical device placed inside a tracheostoma to maintain its opening when a patient is not using their tracheostomy or laryngectomy tube. It prevents narrowing of the stoma while allowing normal breathing through the natural airway, reducing the risk of scarring or obstruction.
These devices are typically reusable and designed for long-term use by patients with tracheostomas or laryngectomies. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and may require compliance with safety and performance standards before market authorization.
