Overview
The Panje Voice Prosthesis is a Prosthesis, Laryngeal (Taub) designed for patients who have undergone laryngectomy. It is an artificial device, typically constructed from silicone, that restores speech function by creating an airway between the trachea and esophagus. This enables patients to produce sound through airflow manipulation, facilitating communication after the removal of the larynx. Its primary purpose is to aid vocal rehabilitation by providing a reliable pathway for speech generation.
This device is supplied as a single-use, sterile prosthesis intended for surgical implantation by qualified medical professionals. It is classified under FDA 510(k) clearance (K810020) and falls under Device Class II, regulated under CFR 21 Part 874.3730. The Panje Voice Prosthesis is available in specific reference codes (e.g., PVP-06) and is designed for use in otolaryngology settings. Storage and handling must adhere to sterile medical device protocols to ensure patient safety and device integrity.
