Due to its material properties and ergonomic shape, the LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT adapts to the skin around the tra -
cheostoma.
In addition to reduced leakage of secretion, the lateral flow of breathing air can also be minimised.
LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT has an integrated 22 mm connector so that a speaking valve/ HME filter cassettes can be
fixated directly into the PAD.
LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT is particularly skin-friendly due to the material used.
No adhesive is required to fix the pad.
VI. INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
When opening the packaging, make sure that the LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT is undamaged and that the indicated

®
stoma
cleansing wipes (REF 33200).
Dry the skin.
The skin surrounding the tracheostoma must be clean, dry and free from grease.

®
PAD CONNECT with the adhesive side centred over
the tracheostoma ➋.

Before removing the LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT, the inserted aids must be removed.
To do this, fixate the LARYVOX
®
PAD CONNECT with two fingers and carefully remove the HME filter cassettes/ speaking
valve from the pad ➎ to achieve a long retention time of the pad.
Remove the LARYVOX
