Tracheostomy patients have similar needs as Laryngectomy
patients, as they are both breathing through a neck stoma
A Tracheostomy is a surgical
procedure that creates an opening in
the neck for direct access to the
windpipe (trachea) to facilitate
breathing
The Tracheostomy patient journey starts with a cannula insertion, which can be
reversed at any stage

during an emergency when the airways are blocked,
or when a disease or other problem makes normal
breathing impossible
Can be temporary or permanent
After a tracheotomy patients have a tracheostoma,
with a tracheostomy tube entering the windpipe.
This changes the way of breathing and speaking.

There are around 1 million tracheostomy
procedures each year
The market today mainly consists of tubes used
for breathing. Market growth estimated between
3-5%
Permanent tracheostomy patients have similar
product needs as laryngectomy patients (HMES,
accessories), and many today do not receive the
highest standard of care
