Product Overview
Passy-Muir PMV007 Speaking Valve (15 mm I.D. / 22 mm O.D.)
The Passy-Muir PMV007 Speaking Valve is a medical device designed to restore speech, improve swallowing, and enhance respiratory function for tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent patients. Its one-way valve allows air to flow in during inhalation and redirects exhaled air through the upper airway, enabling vocalization and more natural breathing patterns.
Features:
- Speech Restoration: Facilitates verbal communication by directing airflow through the vocal cords.
- Improved Swallowing: Helps restore normal swallowing mechanics, reducing aspiration risk.
- Enhanced Respiratory Function: Promotes physiological breathing patterns and secretion management.
- Universal Fit: Compatible with 15 mm inner diameter (I.D.) and 22 mm outer diameter (O.D.) tracheostomy tubes.
- Durable & Lightweight: Made from medical-grade materials for patient comfort and long-term use.
- Easy to Clean: Reusable design with simple maintenance requirements.

Use Suggestion:
The PMV007 is ideal for tracheostomy patients who require speech rehabilitation or improved airway management. It should be used under medical supervision, with proper assessment of patient readiness. Ensure the tracheostomy tube is adequately sized and that the patient can tolerate the valve before continuous use. Regular cleaning and inspection are recommended to maintain functionality.
