The AirLife Tracheostomy Mask (product number 001227) by Vyaire Medical is designed to provide comfort and easy access to patients who require a tracheostomy. This adult-sized mask is large and comes in a case of 50.
The mask is designed with several patient-friendly features. The neckband is made from a comfortable, non-biting material, and the swivel tubing connector allows access from either side of the patient. The mask also features special strap clips that allow the mask to be removed with minimal disturbance to the patient.
A tracheostomy mask is used to help patients breathe by placing a tube directly into the windpipe through a hole in the neck. This procedure is often necessary when there is an obstruction in the mouth, nose, or throat, or when a disease or other condition makes normal breathing impossible.
The AirLife Tracheostomy Mask is easy to clean and care for. It is recommended to clean the skin around the stoma twice a day with a 50:50 mixture of sterile water and hydrogen peroxide. Always wash your hands with soap and water before cleaning and wear gloves.
This mask is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe option for patients with latex allergies. It is designed for single-use and requires a prescription.
