The Hood Esophageal Reconstruction Tube is a special device used in reconstruction and stenting of the cervical esophagus. The tube is used after the first-stage operation to eliminate profuse salivary leakage by way of the pharyngostoma. It maintains a wide patent pharyngostoma and creates a trough between the pharyngostoma and the esophagostoma to facilitate the second-stage procedure. The bulbous protrusions prevent displacement of the tube upward and downward, making suturing of the tube unnecessary. The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care. • Funnel shaped superior end conforms to hypopharynx • Two firm bulbs ensure proper positioning • Prevents leakage of saliva after laryngoesophagectomy...

Hood Laryngeal White Umbrella Keels are designed for use following repair of anterior laryngeal stenosis, subsequent to removal of a laryngeal stent, to insure reformation of a sharp anterior commissure and to prevent formation of an anterior web. Clear umbrella keels are also available. Both are indicated for use after hemilaryngectomy to prevent stenosis. The soft, solid conforming structure consists of an umbrella-like extralaryngeal cover and a thin intralaryngeal insert. The extralaryngeal surface is secured to the thyroid laminae to protect the thyrotomy repair. It is designed so that, with a figure-of-eight suture, the keel can be held tightly enough to inhibit synchronous motion between the intralaryngeal keel insert and the vocal cords, thus preventing granulation formation and preserving phonation. The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care. • Precisely molded medical-grade silicone provides for a...

The Eliachar Laryngeal Stent* for postoperative laryngotracheal support or control of aspiration, is intended for post traumatic support or to retain a lumen after laryngotracheal reconstruction. The stent retains its position mainly through adherence to laryngeal contours. The strap adds additional control and anchoring to prevent expulsion as a result of swallowing or coughing. A soft hollow, conforming design minimizes tissue reaction. This new, physiologically designed laryngeal stent combines safety and management of aspiration in stenting. The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care. * Designed with assistance from Isaac Eliachar, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Foundation • Effectively supports and reshapes larynx • Comfortable and self-conforming • Easy to introduce • Prevents seepage and overflow of fluids and debris into larynx
