“Drink Rite” intake control cup

Kapitex is a British brand specialising in day-to-day tracheostomy care, particularly for people who have had a laryngectomy. Its catalogue covers what the patient needs every day once they leave hospital: filtering the air that now enters directly through the stoma, keeping the cannula clean, and drinking safely again.

Breathing through a stoma: filters and cannula hygiene

Air breathed through a stoma no longer passes through the nose, so it arrives unfiltered, unwarmed and unhumidified. That is the problem heat and moisture exchangers solve: Laryngofoam foam filters for everyday use and Trachi-Naze Plus active filters when greater filtering capacity is needed. Cannula hygiene is the other daily routine, and it needs tools of the right size: the cannula cleaning brush for a full internal clean and the cannula cleaning stick for the points the brush cannot reach. Improvising with other materials on a cannula is exactly what should be avoided.

Drinking safely: adapted swallowing

Kapitex also covers adapted swallowing. The Novo Cup replacement straws belong to the cup designed for drinking without tilting the head back — a movement that increases aspiration risk in many patients with dysphagia.
