The invention further relates to a device for inserting a tracheostoma spacer into a tracheostoma with a cutting instrument in the form of a trocar, the tracheostoma spacer being able to be positioned on the shaft of said trocar. A cover sleeve is also provided which can be moved on the shaft over a tracheostoma spacer positioned there.
