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.

Frequently asked questions about kapitex
What is Kapitex?
Kapitex is a British brand of tracheostomy and laryngectomy care products. Its catalogue focuses on the patient's daily routine: heat and moisture exchange filters, cannula hygiene and aids for drinking safely.
Why is a filter needed when breathing through a stoma?
Because air no longer passes through the nose, which is what normally filters, warms and humidifies it. Without that step the airway dries out and coughing and secretions increase. The filter restores part of that function.
What is the difference between Laryngofoam and Trachi-Naze Plus filters?
The Laryngofoam foam filters are the everyday option. The Trachi-Naze Plus active filters offer greater filtering capacity. Which one suits is determined by the clinical team based on the case, the activity and the environment.
Can the cannula be cleaned with any brush?
It is not advisable. A cannula needs tools of the right size and material so it is neither damaged nor left with residue. The cannula cleaning brush covers the internal clean and the cleaning stick reaches the points the brush cannot.
What is the Novo Cup for?
It allows drinking without tilting the head back. That movement, common when finishing a normal glass, opens the airway and increases aspiration risk in patients with dysphagia. Here you will find the cup's replacement straws.
Who buys Kapitex material?
Speech therapists, ENT specialists and specialist nurses, as well as patients and families already trained in stoma management. In every case, the choice of filter and the usage plan are set by the clinical team.
