Intended use
The Provox Dilator is intended for upsizing smaller
tracheo-esophageal (TE) punctures (i.e. from 16 Fr
upsizing a shrunken puncture to an adequate diameter
i.e. after loss of a voice prosthesis.
The dilator may also be used for temporary blockage
of a TE puncture or to temporarily prevent such from
shrinkage.
It is only intended to be used by physicians or speech
pathologists/therapists trained in the care and
rehabilitation of laryngectomized patients.
Contraindications
• The device is not intended to be used for puncture
dilation at the time of surgical creation of the
puncture.
• Do not use the device in case of a small tracheostoma
where the dilator could obstruct breathing.
Device description
Provox Dilator is a stepwise tapered, about 140 mm
(5.5 inch) long solid curved rod made of medical grade
silicone. The diameter is 15 Fr at the tip and increases
to 24 Fr. At the end of each diameter step, i.e. 18, 20
and 22 Fr respectively, a small retaining collar is
made to prevent the dilator from gliding back to the
thinner section. The dilator also has a retainer strap
with medallion intended to reduce the risk of accidental
aspiration.
WARNINGS
• To avoid cross contamination, use appropriate
hygienic procedures and make sure that each used
device is cleaned, disinfected, dried and steam
sterilized.
• Do not use the device if it shows any sign of
structural damage.
• The material in the Provox Dilator withstands 50
cleaning and steam sterilization procedures at
137°C/278°F for 3 minutes or at 134°C/273°F for
18 minutes. Always ensure mechanical integrity
before each use.
• Allergic reactions against the lubricating
(anaesthetizing) gel may occur, read the
instructions for use accompanying the lubricant.
Always ask the patient about allergic history.
