ADVANTAGE® Hard Valve restores tracheoesophageal speech in patients following total laryngectomy. Specifically designed for clinician placement during secondary or replacement TEP procedures, this indwelling prosthesis features a hard valve assembly that increases resistance to inadvertent valve opening. As a result, it helps minimise central leakage and reduces unwanted air ingestion caused by fluctuations in oesophageal pressure.
