ABSTRACT:
The tracheostomy stoma covering device is for filtering and conditioning the air inhaled through the stoma. The device includes an encasement member having generally flexible mesh front and back panels, and having access means for entry into the interior thereof. Flexible strap means extend from generally the top side portions of the encasement member for securing the device about a wearer's neck with the encasement member covering the stoma. Within the interior of the encasement member is a replaceable air filter means which is exchangable through the access means. Additionally, a moisture absorbing and releasing and heat absorbing and releasing element is provided for placement within the encasement member for selective use depending upon environmental factors. Adjustable strap means are provided for a wide range of user neck sizes, and strap placement and configurations are disclosed to ensure comfortable wear and proper location of the device relative to the stoma. And, formable or malleable strip means are used in encasement member border sections to permit the encasement member to be contoured to fit the configuration of a user's neck. Additionally, one embodiment of the device has a removable front panel member to permit the selection of a plurality of different colored front panel members to be used with the remaining device portions so that the device can become inconspicuously matched with a wearer's clothing.
