摘要

The device (1) has a flat base (6) with one curved side pointing upwards towards the chin of the user and three rounded corners (8), used for attaching the base (6) to the neck of the patient with an elastic band and a strip of adhesive tape. A conical center area (5) with a cylindrical top (3) is inserted into the stoma touching the trachea with its upper surface; the inner surface of the base (6) is positioned on top of the skin surrounding the stoma. The cylindrical top (3) can be used for the accommodation of a filter or a securing device.
