Eliachar Speaking ValveThe Eliachar Speaking Valve is a low profile, clear silicone speaking valve for use with the Hood Stoma Stents. It allows the wearer to speak without occluding the stoma stent opening. It has a very low resistance, flap design and is cosmetically appealing. The Hood Weaning KitThe Hood Weaning Kit consists of two plugs with holes of differing diameters. Once it has been determined that a patient can be relieved of a tracheostomy, this kit is useful in helping wean a difficult patient from the tracheostomy. By reducing the allowable volume of air through the stoma in a controlled fashion, the patient is forced to use the upper respiratory tract. The Hood Stoma GaugeThe Hood Stoma Gauge can be used to determine the precise depth of the stoma in order to aid the...

The Hood Stoma Stent is a self-retaining device used to maintain the patency of a tracheostoma. Made of biocompatible medical-grade silicone, the Stoma Stents are smooth, flexible, and nonirritating to the skin and the tracheal mucosa. * Designed with assistance from Isaac Eliachar, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Foundation

The Hood Nasal Septal Button* is designed as a nonsurgical approach to manage septal perforations. A unique conical shape seals the button, reduces movement of the flaps and accumulation of crusted epistaxis secretions, improving nasal respiration. The one piece device can be positioned on opposite sides of the nasal septum and conforms to extreme septal deviations. Fabricated of medical-grade silicone, the biocompatible material will not affect, or be affected by, the nasal passages. The device lends itself to custom shaping by trimming before insertion. 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 • Unique conical shape seals button, reduces movement of flaps and accumulation of crusted epistaxis secretions, improving nasal respiration • Conforms to extreme...
