Permanent wearing of tubes often lead to great strain on themselves, the doctors attending them and the whole medical service. We have attempted to make the functions of air-flow, coughing and speech easier. The Speaking Valve "SPIRO®" is an important step in this direction. Tracheal tubes with form-fitting fenestration are easily equipped with this new aid, giving patients an enhanced quality of life, particulary children and other sesceptible patients.

SPIRO® is developed in collaboration with Danderyd
Hospital, Stockholm. Danderyds Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Sweden with specialists in anaesthesiology and breathing care.

Function

Speaking Valve with filtration; Humidifier with HME

Inhalation will be easier as the silicone membrane closes immediately during expiration. This gives good speech function and ensures that, during coughing, the filter and Speaking Valve are not affected by secretions. The stenosed area will be positively effected, with less tendency of scarring from laser treatment. The exhaled air functions as a permanent dilator of the stenosed area. The valve house has a nipple with simple connection, through which oxygen can be provided when needed.


Significant Patient Advantages

The development of SPIRO® has lead to the elemination of common problems for tracheostomised patients. SPIRO® is small, convenient and very light compared with other speech aids. It can be worn discretely under the patients clothes. SPIRO® is also very easily handled by all types of patients. The whole valve can be removed and applied in one simple operation. When required the valve housing can be cleaned with fresh water and the filter replaced.


SPIRO Reduces the Costs

SPIRO® is a complete system using replacement filters held in filter valve. One is transparent with Speaking Valve, humidifier and pre-warming of the air. The other is white with a moistening and air-warming function. The easy handling, changing of filters and parts, and the several functions within the same unit, makes SPIRO® very cost-effective.

LAO Endotracheal Tubes

The LAO (Lindholm Anatomical Oval) endotracheal tube conforms to both the contour of the airway and the arytenoid cartilages. This results in safer and more comfortable intubations for the patient (delaying the need for any eventual tracheostomy), thus achieving shorter recovery times and cost savings.
