Description
Buchanan Tracheostomy Protector
The Buchanan Tracheostomy Protector is a soft, neck-worn stoma protector designed to help warm, humidify and filter inhaled air for people breathing through a tracheostomy or permanent tracheostoma.
When breathing through a tracheostoma, air bypasses the nose and upper airway, reducing the natural warming, filtering and humidifying process. The Buchanan Protector helps compensate for this by creating a protective layer over the stoma while providing effective heat and moisture exchange.
Its soft, flexible construction is designed to rest comfortably against the neck and upper chest, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

What is the Buchanan Tracheostomy Protector used for?
After a tracheostomy or laryngectomy, inhaled air no longer passes through the nose, where it would normally be warmed, filtered and humidified.
The Buchanan Protector is worn over the tracheostoma to help recreate some of these important functions. Its filter material helps retain warmth and moisture from exhaled air while providing filtration during inhalation.
This can help reduce the drying effect of breathing directly through the stoma and support more comfortable airway management.

Who is it suitable for?
The Buchanan Protector is suitable for tracheostomy and laryngectomy patients who breathe through a neck stoma and require a comfortable way to help filter, warm and humidify inhaled air.
It can be worn as part of an established tracheostomy or laryngectomy care routine and may be particularly useful for users who prefer a soft bib-style stoma protector rather than an adhesive HME system.
Always follow the supplied instructions for use and the advice of your tracheostomy, laryngectomy or healthcare specialist.
Why choose the Buchanan Tracheostomy Protector?
The Buchanan Protector combines airway filtration, heat and moisture exchange and comfortable stoma coverage in a simple neck-worn design.
Its soft, flexible materials make it suitable for everyday wear, while the choice of Small and Large sizes allows users to select the most appropriate level of coverage.
For people looking for a traditional tracheostomy or laryngectomy bib-style protector, the Buchanan Protector provides a practical solution for supporting airway comfort and protection.
