Hands Free Valve - Type B

Suitability

• The Type B valve is more suitable for Laryngectomees with good lung function and volume. The person will be of a larger frame and their voice will sound more normal when finger occluding.

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

• If coughing occurs, the over pressure release valve will rise allowing excessive air pressure to be released. Please note: if coughing persists, remove the hands free valve and re-apply.

Easy Breathe

• Easy to breathe through, the Type A top cap will prevent clothing blocking the valve.
