 | Introducing the FIRST ever 16 Fr.
Indwelling Voice Prosthesis! According to Eric D. Blom, Ph.D.,* he considers the use of a 16 Fr. Indwelling voice prosthesis in the following circumstances: - As the initial voice prosthesis following tracheoesophageal puncture.
- Patients who have questionably healthy tracheoesophageal wall tissue, i.e., post-radiation or chemo-radiation therapy, poorly controlled diabetes, or others in who dilating the puncture to 20 Fr. or larger seems unwarranted.
- Patients with a smaller diameter tracheostoma that will not comfortably accommodate a 20 Fr. or larger diameter prosthesis.
- Patients with a thin tracheoesophageal wall, i.e., 6mm or less.
| | * Eric D. Blom, Ph.D. of Head & Neck Surgery Associates, Indianapolis, has many years of clinical experience in Surgical Voice Restoration. According to Dr. Blom, a 16 Fr. Indwelling Voice Prosthesis should only be used in a 16 FR. diameter Tracheoesphageal Puncture. | | | | | REF | | | IN1604 | 4mm |  | | IN1606 | 6mm | | | IN1608 | 8mm | | | IN1610 | 10mm | | | IN1612 | 12mm | | | IN1614 | 14mm | | | IN1616 | 16mm | | | IN1618 | 18mm | |
