16Fr. Indwelling Voice Prosthesis


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.
