Laryngectomy and Tracheostomy Protector. Scientifically proven protection, filtration and humidification.
The Buchanan® Lite Protector offers additional features over the original Buchanan design and offers a wider choice of colours. Essential fine filtration through the dual layer microfibre filter layer. Excellent moisture retention, scientifically tested to provide 44% improved moisture retention compared to other protectors. The breathable polyester non-woven design makes the product lightweight and soft. Ezi-Tie® adjustors ensure simple and effective fastening.
These protectors are not designed to act as a bacterial viral filter; but will filter airborne particle down to 2.5 microns, which is the same filtration as the human nose.
The Buchanan range is proven to filter up to 49% more airborne particles than the competition(1)
The filtration ability of Buchanan® and Buchanan® Lite stoma protectors was tested against two competitor stoma covers in a laboratory (1). The graph below shows the percentage of particles which each product was able to filter. Airborne particles equivalent to the size of mould spores, dust and some bacteria were tested (4.5 microns). These are small enough to be inhaled and reach the middle of the lungs.
