Abstract
To achieve the object of making available an insertion aid for a voice prosthesis, which insertion aid can be used universally and permits a secure hold on the voice prosthesis, such an insertion aid is proposed comprising a rod-shaped device with a head region arranged at a first end of a rod, said head region comprising a limit stop element for a voice prosthesis and, adjoining this limit stop element, a locking element for a voice prosthesis, wherein a first ring surface is formed between the limit stop element and the locking element, which ring surface is configured extending radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the rod.
Claims18
An insertion aid (100) for a voice prosthesis (80), comprising a rod-shaped device (10) with a head region (20) located on a first end (14) of a rod (12), comprising a stop element (22) for a voice prosthesis (80) and an adjoining retention element (24) for a voice prosthesis (80), wherein a first annular surface (28) is formed between the stop element (22) and the retention element (24), which extends radially in relation to a longitudinal axis (11) of the rod (12).
The insertion aid (100) according to either or both of the preceding claims, characterized in that the retention element (24) is in the form of a truncated cone.
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the retention element (24) comprises a second annular surface (30).
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that a transition in the form of a rim (31) is formed between the second annular surface (30) and an outer surface (25) of the retention element (24).
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the head region (20) comprises a pre-retention element (26) adjacent to the retention element (24).
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the stop element (22) and/or the pre-retention element (26) are cylindrical.
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the stop element (22) and/or the pre-retention element (26) are coaxial to the rod (12) and the longitudinal axis (11) running through it.
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that there is at least one material accumulation (32.1, 32.2) beneath the gripping region (20) on the rod (12).
The insertion aid (100) according to any one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises a sleeve (60), into which the rod-shaped device (10) can be inserted.
