Laryngofoam Filter

The Laryngofoam Filter is a lightweight and discreet foam stoma protector designed for people who breathe through a laryngectomy stoma or permanent tracheostoma.

Made from specialist moisture-retaining foam, Laryngofoam helps warm, humidify and filter inhaled air before it enters the airway. This helps compensate for some of the natural filtering and humidifying functions normally provided by the nose and upper respiratory tract.

A built-in hypoallergenic adhesive strip allows the filter to be positioned securely above the stoma, providing comfortable everyday protection without the need for a neck strap.

Available in White, Beige and Large variations.

What is a Laryngofoam Filter used for?

Following a total laryngectomy, air enters the lungs directly through the stoma rather than passing through the nose and mouth.

This means inhaled air is not naturally warmed, filtered or humidified in the same way. Laryngofoam is designed to help compensate for these changes by covering the stoma with a specialist foam filter.

The foam retains moisture and warmth while allowing air to pass through, helping support more comfortable breathing and airway humidification.

Hydrolox Foam Technology

Laryngofoam uses specialist Hydrolox foam, designed to provide effective moisture transfer and retention.

By capturing some of the warmth and moisture associated with breathing, the foam helps improve humidification within the trachea while maintaining comfortable airflow.

The Large version provides additional coverage for users who prefer or require a larger foam filter.

Who is it suitable for?

Laryngofoam Filters are designed for laryngectomy patients who breathe through a permanent tracheostoma and want a simple foam-based solution for airway protection and humidification.

They may be particularly suitable for users who prefer a lightweight adhesive foam filter rather than an HME cassette and baseplate system.

Always position the filter according to the supplied instructions and follow the advice of your speech and language therapist, laryngectomy specialist or healthcare professional.

Why choose Laryngofoam Filters?

Laryngofoam provides a simple way to combine stoma coverage, filtration and airway humidification in one lightweight product.

Its soft foam, discreet appearance and easy-to-use adhesive strip make it a practical option for everyday laryngectomy care. With standard and larger sizes available, users can select the style and coverage that best suit their individual requirements.
