3. Disposable Design:
- The term "disposable" indicates that these masks are intended for single-use and should be discarded after use to prevent the risk of contamination.
4. Adult and Pediatric Sizes:
- The availability of both adult and pediatric sizes ensures that the mask can be appropriately sized for different age groups, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
5. Oxygen Tubing Connection:
- The mask is equipped with a connector for oxygen tubing, allowing it to be connected to an oxygen source such as an oxygen concentrator or cylinder.

- Some tracheostomy masks may feature an adjustable nose clip to help secure the mask in place comfortably.
7. Elastic Strap:
- An elastic strap is typically included to secure the mask around the patient's head, ensuring a proper fit.
Tracheostomy masks are crucial for delivering oxygen to individuals who have undergone tracheostomy surgery. The design of these masks takes into consideration the unique anatomy of patients with tracheostomies, allowing for effective oxygen delivery directly to the tracheostomy site.

What is a tracheostomy mask used for?

The tracheostomy mask is designed to facilitate oxygen delivery to individuals with a tracheostomy tube in place.
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 do you cover up a tracheostomy?
If you are outside, wear a loose covering over your trach, such as a scarf or other cloth, but avoid clothing with loose fibres. Covering your trach prevents dust, dirt, and bacteria from getting into it. You can also use special trach "bibs" to cover your trach and to protect your clothing from mucus when you cough.
