Design Difference

All Passy-Muir Valves (PMVs) have a patented closed position "No Leak" design that restores a closed respiratory system.

Design Advantage

Passy-Muir Tracheostomy & Ventilator Swallowing and Speaking Valves are the ONLY speaking valves FDA indicated for ALL of the following uses: 

• Communication
• Improves Swallowing
• May Reduce Aspiration
• Ventilator Application
• Improves Olfaction
• Improves Oxygenation
• Facilitates Secretion Management
• Expedites Weaning & Decannulation
• Restores Positive Airway Pressure
• Facilitates Infection Control
• Interchangeability Between Tracheostomy and Ventilator Use

Clinically Proven

The PMVs are the only speaking valves that have been research validated for all of the following benefits:

Restores Positive Airway Pressure: Due to the closed position "No Leak" design of the PMVs and the more normal closed respiratory system it creates, positive airway pressure is restored.

Superior Voice/Speech Production: Patients can produce clearer voice with more normal phrasing, better vocal quality and increased volume because all exhaled airflow is redirected up past the vocal cords.

Improves Swallow & May Reduce Aspiration: The closed position "No Leak" design facilitates increased pharyngeal/ laryngeal sensation and restores subglottic air pressures which improves swallow and may reduce aspiration.

In-Line Ventilator Use: Adult, pediatric and neonatal ventilator dependent patients can utilise the PMV during mechanical ventilation. All PMVs can be used both on or off acute care and portable ventilators.
