The shower Shield fits onto the occlusion cap of the filter cassette. It also fits onto the occlusion cap which is used on the baseplates.

The Shower Shield can be an ideal protector in outside windy conditions - by deflecting the wind away from the stoma.




Sizing and Fitting Trachi-Naze +Plus couldn’t be easier

1 When the stoma has been cleaned and dried, the Stoma Stud measuring guide is used to measure the width and depth of the stoma opening. 2 To ensure a snug fit, the size is checked with the Stoma Stud shaft resting on the corresponding cutout on the measuring guide.

5 With the shaft of the Stoma Stud folded to make insertion easier, the stud and filter cassette assembly can now be placed into the stoma. 6 The Stoma Stud should fit snugly (not tightly), with the rim anchoring the stud in place.

The right Stoma Stud for you

  • The Trachi-Naze +Plus stoma measuring guide ensures that the correct size of Stoma Stud is fitted. The guide indicates depth to the voice prosthesis (which determines the length of Stoma Stud to be used), and the outside diameter of the stud shaft. Two lengths of Trachi-Naze +Plus Stoma Studs are available, with a choice of diameters.
  • The shorter length of Stoma Stud is more suitable for voice prosthesis users, as the shaft will not reach the prosthesis opening.
