Hands Free Valve - Type A

Suitability

• The Type A valve is best suited to those with a low lung volume and who breathe lightly. As a general observation those who are of slight build and have a quiet voice when finger occluding would be good candidates for the Type A Hands Free Valve.

Easy Adjustability

• The adjustable settings change the closing position of the diaphragm within the valve. The diaphragm is pushed up when air pressure is increased for speech to make contact against the sealing rim of the cap.
• Once the valve is closed (when exhaling) air is diverted through the voice prosthesis into the oesophagus, pharynx and mouth.
• The multiple adjustment settings allow the valves sensitivity to be set to best suit the individuals breathing and speech.

Cough Release

• The Type B valve diaphragm when faced with extreme pressure will simply pop out of the housing. The diaphragm can then be gently pushed back into position. The diaphragm will automatically reshape and will function as normal.

Easy Breathe

• The Type B valve features a cross bar, this helps to keep clothing away from the top cap and therefore allows free air flow.
