the BLOM-Singer duckbill voice prosthesis is a silicon ONE-Way slit valve designed for placement in a passage (puncture) between the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus (food pipe) for voice restoration following laryngectomy (removal of the voice box) . the ONE-Way valve protects the airway during swallowing and opens under positive pressure so that air crosses into the esophagus to produce voice; the prosthesis functions to maintain the puncture; allow air to flow from the trachea to the esophagus for voice production; prevent esophageal leakage into the trachea during swallowing; insertion device and instruction manual included; 2.6 cm. long
silicone
An item designed to restore the patient's ability to speak.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Precious metal content is unknown
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
