Abstract
A filter for covering a surgical orifice at a base of the neck of a tracheotomized person and connecting the trachea to the ambient atmosphere. The filter comprises a bib having a cutout neck with a border extended by one or more attachment strips adapted to form with the border a closed loop around the neck of the person by complementary joining elements which may not be separated after being joined, so that the filter cannot be re-used.
