Abstract
A tracheostoma device holder for holding a tracheostoma aid device superimposed on a tracheostoma of a person is provided. The tracheostoma device holder may comprise a skirt for attachment over a tracheostoma via a skin adhesive proximal side thereof, wherein the skirt is provided with a through hole. The tracheostoma device holder may comprise a tubular tracheostoma device fitting arranged circumferentially of the through hole. The tubular tracheostoma device fitting may comprise a sleeve extending distally from a distal side of the skirt, and an annular lip. The lip may extend proximally and centrally from the sleeve.
Claims20
A tracheostoma coupling system, comprising:
- a tracheostoma aid device;
- a tracheostoma device holder for holding the tracheostoma aid device superimposed on a tracheostoma of a person, wherein the tracheostoma device holder comprises:
- a skirt for attachment over the tracheostoma via a skin adhesive proximal side of the skirt, wherein the skirt is provided with a through hole;
- a tubular tracheostoma device fitting arranged circumferentially around the through hole, wherein the tubular tracheostoma device fitting comprises a sleeve extending distally from a distal side of the skirt, and an annular lip, the annular lip extending proximally and centrally from the sleeve;
- wherein the annular lip engages against an outer lateral wall of the tracheostoma aid device to facilitate sealing and retaining of the tracheostoma aid device;
- and
- wherein the annular lip extends proximally and centrally from an inner central side wall of the sleeve to form a cavity laterally of the annular lip and between the annular lip and the inner central side wall of the sleeve, such that the outer lateral wall of the tracheostoma aid device is displaced laterally in relation to the tracheostoma device holder during removal of the tracheostoma aid device from the tracheostoma device holder.
A tracheostoma coupling system, comprising:
- a tracheostoma aid device including a heel at a proximal end of the tracheostoma aid device;
- a tracheostoma device holder for holding the tracheostoma aid device superimposed on a tracheostoma of a person, wherein the tracheostoma device holder comprises:
- a skirt for attachment over the tracheostoma via a skin adhesive proximal side of the skirt, wherein the skirt is provided with a through hole;
- a tubular tracheostoma device fitting arranged circumferentially around the through hole, wherein the tubular tracheostoma device fitting comprises a sleeve and an annular lip;
- and
- wherein the sleeve extends distally from a distal side of the skirt, and the annular lip extends proximally and centrally from an inner central side wall of the sleeve and ends distally of the distal side of the skirt and engages against an outer lateral wall of the tracheostoma aid device to facilitate sealing and retaining of the tracheostoma aid device, and wherein the proximally and centrally extending annular lip forms a cavity laterally of the annular lip and between the annular lip and the inner central side wall of the sleeve, such that the outer lateral wall of the tracheostoma aid device is configured to be displaced laterally in relation to the tracheostoma device holder while the heel interacts with the annular lip during removal of the tracheostoma aid device from the tracheostoma device holder.
