Humidophone Plus Speaking Valve HME
The Humidophone Plus is a compact speaking valve with an HME (Heat and Moisture Exchanger) filter which enables tracheostomees with an intact larynx to speak.
The membrane of the Humidophone Plus HME filter rests in the closed position (“closed-position valve”) and opens during inspiration. The advantage of this is that no enhanced exhalation pressure is required to close the valve and to facilitate speaking.
This means less fatigue for the user, and better speaking quality.
It is also lightweight and low profile/discrete.
