Description

The Blom-Singer Rapid Response Large Esophageal Flange (LEF) is a specialized accessory designed for laryngectomy patients who require effective management of their voice prosthesis. This indwelling voice prosthesis accessory plays a crucial role in providing a secure seal, particularly for those with significantly enlarged or irregularly shaped puncture tracts.

Key Features

• Double Seal Design: The flange offers a "double seal" capability, addressing the needs of patients with uniquely shaped punctures, such as tear-drop formations. This enhances the overall effectiveness of the voice prosthesis by minimizing leakage.

• Optimal Fit: Achieving a snug flange-to-flange seal is essential, and the effectiveness of the device depends on selecting the optimal prosthesis length. This ensures a tailored fit for each patient, enhancing comfort and functionality.

• Convenient Downsizing: The flange allows for safe and convenient downsizing from a wider to a smaller diameter prosthesis, providing flexibility and adaptability in prosthesis management.

Available Sizes

• Diameters: 16FR and 20FR
• Lengths: Available in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm for each diameter

This range of sizes supports individualized fitting, catering to the specific anatomical needs of each patient.

Special Considerations

• The 20FR size is a special order valve and is not eligible for exchange or return, necessitating careful selection.

Intended Patient Population

This device is tailored for laryngectomy patients who experience challenges with puncture tract sealing around their voice prosthesis. By providing enhanced sealing capabilities, the Blom-Singer LEF contributes to improved voice prosthesis performance and patient satisfaction.
