The PMV 2001 Tracheostomy & Ventilator Swallowing and Speaking Valve attaches to a standard 15mm tracheostomy tube hub. The PMV 2001 is low profile, lightweight, and purple in color for easy identification as a Passy Muir Valve. Supplemental low-flow oxygen may be delivered through the Valve by attaching the PMA® 2000 Oxygen Adapter. The PMV 2001 can be connected to a ventilator with the PMV® AD22 Adapter or other 22mm flexible silicone adapter. The PMV 2001 is packaged with one Secure-It® that connects the Valve to a tracheostomy tie to help prevent loss. Extra Secure-It ties available for purchase. Latex free. Made in the USA.
Passy Muir Tracheostomy/Ventilator Swallowing and Speaking Valves (PMVs) have a patented closed position "No Leak" design that restores a closed respiratory system. They are the only product that the FDA approves for all of the following uses:
- Communication
- Facilitates Secretion Management
- Improves Swallowing
- Expedites Weaning and Decannulation
- May Reduce Aspiration
- Restores Positive Airway Pressure
- Ventilator Application
- Facilitates Infection Control
- Improves Olfaction
- Interchangeability Between Tracheostomy and Ventilator Use
- Improves Oxygenation
Passy Muir is a true, industry innovator. The "No Leak" design re-establishes a closed respiratory system and restores subglottic pressure, which improves swallowing and may reduce aspiration. Theses are the only products with built-in speaking valves that can be used interchangeably on or off the ventilator for pediatrics and adults. The Trach Valves offer ventilator dependent patients the opportunity to speak uninterrupted without having to wait for the ventilator to cycle, and without being limited to a few words at a time due to loss of air through the tracheostomy tube as experienced by patients using "leak speech".
