When and How to Use Provox® LaryTube™
The Provox LaryTube is a soft silicone tube designed to hold the Provox® Heat
and Moisture Exchanger (HME) or Provox® ShowerAid and is placed in the
stoma to prevent it from shrinking. The LaryTube or Provox® OptiDerm™
adhesive can be used as an alternative to your regular adhesive when the skin
is irritated. Provox LaryTube can also be used during radiotherapy if you find
you are temporarily unable to use an adhesive.
The Provox LaryTube is available in
three versions:
• Fenestrated version – For voice prosthesis users. Designed with holes so
that air can go through the tube to the voice prosthesis. Can be attached
with a Provox® TubeHolder or Provox® LaryClips™.
• Standard version – Made for use with or without a voice prosthesis;
however, your clinician can place customized holes with a Provox
FenestrationPunch for voice prosthesis users. The LaryTube can be
attached with a Provox TubeHolder or Provox LaryClips.
• Blue Ring version – Can only be attached with a Provox Adhesive.
Your clinician can place customized holes with a FenestrationPunch for
voice prosthesis users.

Sizing of the Provox LaryTube

• The Provox LaryTube is available in four diameters and three lengths.
• The stoma should be just slightly bigger than the Provox LaryTube.
• It is important that the Provox LaryTube you use is of the correct
type, width and length. The LaryTube should fit well into your stoma
without causing irritation. Your clinician can help you determine which
LaryTube is the best solution for you.
Tip: Voice prosthesis users should be cautious when inserting
the Provox LaryTube. Direct the LaryTube in and down to
avoid catching the voice prosthesis with the end of the
LaryTube as this may cause accidental dislodgement.
Tip:
Contact your clinician if you experience irritation from
the tube or if you feel the tube has become too large
or too small. You may need a different size.
