  1. Coherent Market Insights For patients with laryngectomee, the Voice Prosthesis Device has become one of the most essential medical devices in voice treatment. When the voice prosthesis device is employed to provide relief from symptoms resulting from a throat condition that inhibits speech such as a paroxysmal tumor or an adenocarcinoma, then a cavity within the trachea can be made smaller by the device. Such a cavity is provided when the voice prosthesis is placed inside the tracheal end of the oral appliance. The Voice Prosthesis Device can also be used to provide speech therapy and orthodontic treatment to those who are suffering from alveolar osteoarthritis. The voice prosthesis device is designed for the principle of increasing airway size by expanding the tracheal cavity and improving airway clearance. The principal cause of the airway obstruction is the occurrence of a tracheal valve seat that is too small for the patient's airway. Therefore, a voice prosthetic that is capable of increasing the size of the tracheal valve seat is required. This can be done by the incorporation of a diaphragm that has been coupled with a voice capsule and/or an elastomeric voice prosthetic. These three components form the voice prosthesis device. They then work hand in hand with the diaphragm for enabling the passage of air into the trachea and the valve seat. Secondly, the voice prosthesis device is fitted on the tracheal flange directly. The diaphragm is then fastened around the tracheal flange using a metal screw cap and/or screws. Then the hinge flap is opened and a voice prosthesis is inserted into the flange. The diaphragm is then closed. This type of voice prosthesis Coherent Market Insights
