Design: Tracheostomy masks have a unique design that accommodates the tracheostomy tube. They typically consist of a mask that covers the stoma (the opening in the neck) and attaches to the tracheostomy tube. The mask is connected to an oxygen source via tubing.
Material: Tracheostomy masks are commonly made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is a soft and flexible material that is also transparent. PVC masks are lightweight and comfortable for the patient to wear.
Size and Fit: Tracheostomy masks come in different sizes to ensure a proper fit over the stoma. It's important to choose the correct size to create a secure seal and prevent oxygen leakage.
Oxygen Flow: Tracheostomy masks are designed to deliver oxygen directly into the tracheostomy tube, bypassing the upper airway. The mask should have an adjustable oxygen flow rate to meet the patient's specific oxygen requirements.
Disposable and Single-Use: Like most medical masks, tracheostomy masks are typically disposable and intended for single use. This ensures hygiene and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
Accessories: Some tracheostomy masks may come with additional features or accessories, such as an adjustable strap to secure the mask in place, a swivel connector for easy movement, or an oxygen reservoir bag for increased oxygen concentration.

What is a tracheostomy mask?
Tracheostomy mask allows for the delivery of oxygen therapy to patients who have had a tracheostomy. The mask is contructed of molded transparent, medical grade PVC. It comes equipped with a swivel adapter and a spandex terylene adjustable strap for added comfort. This product is not made with natural rubber latex.
How much oxygen does a tracheostomy mask deliver?
Mask delivers 60 – 80% FiO2.
What is the flow rate for a tracheostomy mask?
The minimum flow rate through any face mask or tracheostomy mask is 4 LPM as this prevents the possibility of CO2 accumulation and CO2 re-breathing.
