ABSTRACT:
A soft reusable tracheostomy collar is provided for holding a tracheostomy tube securely in place. The collar is specifically made with machine washable materials. The present tracheostomy collar provides increased comfort and stability to the tracheostomy tube, alleviating leaks and dislodged tracheostomy tubes. In addition, the present tracheostomy collar includes two tying tapes of equal lengths with easily threadable plastic tips to place through the tracheostomy tube flanges and tie at the back of the neck. The present collar also is available with two additional tying tapes to tie across the front to hold a mechanical breathing device in place. The present tracheostomy collar is provided in a variety of different sizes to accommodate all possibilities. Furthermore, the relatively simple design makes the present collar easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
