Eliachar Laryngeal Stents
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 and 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.
- Effectively supports and reshapes larynx
- Comfortable and self-conforming
- Easy to introduce
- Prevents seepage and overflow of fluids and debris into larynx

Hood Stoma Stent
The Hood Stoma Stent is a self-retaining device used to maintain the patency of a tracheostomy. Made of biocompatible medical-grade silicone, the Stoma Stents are smooth, flexible, and nonirritating to the skin and the tracheal mucosa.
Principal indications for Stoma Stent use are:
- Maintenance of long-term or permanent tracheostomy in:
Sleep Apnea
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis
Laryngeal (glottic) insufficiency or stenosis due to trauma, carcinoma, radiation therapy, edema and other diseases.
- Short -term tracheostomy when assisted respiration is not required.
- Following removal of cannula or T-Tube until adequate airway is assured or as an alternative to a T-Tube in appropriate cases.
The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.

Hood Weaning Kit
The 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.

Hood Tracheal T-Tubes
Hood Tracheal T-Tubes are designed with the stopper plug attached to the extraluminal limb to ensure the most secure placement, and to offer convenience in daily cleaning, maintenance and training.
The single-piece construction eliminates misplacement of plugs while medical personnel are developing routine breathing and maintenance.
The Ring Flanged Plug can be detached and threaded over the extraluminal limb to fit snugly against the patient's tracheostoma adding security by reducing excessive movement of the T-Tube. The smooth extraluminal stem provides comfort for a wide range of patients, thin and obese, and eliminates complications in cases of edema.
The extraluminal limb of the Pediatric T-Tubes has an enlarged tip. This allows for easier handling of the plug, improved visualization and easier access for maintenance by medical personnel.
All Pediatric and Standard Tracheal T-Tubes have the Ultra-Smooth Plus® surface treatment. The proprietary technology modifies the surface properties of silicone. Ultra-Smooth Plus® treated silicone is thromboresistant, resistant to biofilm germination and bacterial and fungal growth, and has less surface friction.

Laryngeal Stents
Hood Laryngeal Stents provide soft, solid, conforming support for use in laryngeal fracture, laryngeal stenosis and subglottic stenosis.
Laryngeal stents are molded to a precise hardness to provide support, but not injure surrounding tissue. They blend easily, are compressible and conform to the inner contour of the larynx. Skin or mucosal grafts may be sutured directly to the stent which is then inserted and held in place by silicone surface buttons.
- Prevent and treat laryngeal stenosis
- Silicone material prevents tissue reaction
- Designed to conform to normal endolaryngeal surface
- Four sizes are available for precise patient fitting
- Surface buttons provided with suture holes
- Offered in radiopaque silicone for easy visibility during placement and post placement maintenance

Laryngeal Umbrella Keel
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.

Panje Voice Button
The Panje Voice Button is a biflanged tube with a one-way valve designed to restore speech in laryngectomy patients. The Panje Voice Button restores speech by providing a passageway for air from the trachea to the esophagus. It is inserted into a simple tracheoesophageal fistula which is established by means of a surgical approach.
The Panje Voice Button is designed to be used for the restoration of speech in laryngectomees, provided that any radiation therapy treatment has been completed not less than three months before the tracheoesophageal fistula operation.
- Self-contained within tracheoesophageal fistula
- Outpatient surgical procedure
- Secure, self-retaining flanges
