  • For use under supervision by a doctor/physician

The DURATWIX® PLUG decannulation plug is required when tracheotomised patients, with retained larynx, are to be weaned off their tracheotomy tubes. With the aid of the PLUG, the air supply through the tracheostoma is blocked, under medical supervision, for a certain period. This requires the patient to breathe naturally through the nose/mouth, for this period of time. Because natural breathing is fairly strenuous after a tracheotomy, the patient must become accustomed to normal breathing again, step-by-step.

The Duratwix® PLUG decannulation plug may only be used with the Duratwix® LINGO series; the outer cannula must be sieved.
