Passy-Muir, Inc.

Passy-Muir tracheostomy and ventilator speaking valves feature "Positive Closure," a unique, patented closed-position "No Leak" design. This design advantage improves communication and swallowing, may reduce aspiration, permits use on or off the ventilator for pediatrics and adults, facilitates secretion management, improves oxygenation and olfaction, expedites weaning and decannulation, restores positive airway pressure, and facilitates infection control. All Passy-Muir Valves (PMVs) offer this design, attach to the standard 15mm tracheostomy tube hub, come packaged in a comprehensive PMV Patient Care Kit and are Medicare, Medicaid and MediCal reimbursable. Several size profiles, color choices and adapters are available, including new models for use on metal tracheostomy tubes. More information is available on the internet at www.passy-muir.com.
