We have designed a \u201clid\u201d for this purpose, which the patient can press into the stoma during speech. The \u201clid\u201d is silicone rubber, the stoma side has a soft all-round sealing cushion, and the other side has a \u201cLuer-lock\u201d connection for connecting a regular pressure sensor. This pressure gauge lid was our first (and instantly successful) attempt to mould part of the product inside out, so that the soft air-filled cushion arises after turning it over allowing the stoma to be closed off, both comfortably and airtight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aim<\/strong>: the measurement of air pressure in the oesophagus of laryngectomy patients during speech.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commissioned by<\/strong>: Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital<\/p>\n<p><strong>Material<\/strong>: silicone rubber<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method of fabrication<\/strong>: low pressure poured into a perspex casting mould<\/p>\n<p><strong>Particulars<\/strong>: the part that seals off the stoma is turned inside out after moulding, forming a comfortable airtight cushion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/02\/Tracheale-drukmeter-in-mal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-873\" title=\"Tracheale-drukmeter-in-mal\" src=\"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/02\/Tracheale-drukmeter-in-mal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-872 alignnone\" title=\"meetdop_voor_en_na-omkeren\" src=\"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/02\/meetdop_voor_en_na-omkeren1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"239\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital, there was a demand for a system for measuring the air pressure in laryngectomy patients [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":877,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":77,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2480,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/2480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdhouwen.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
