What kind of material is a voice prosthesis made out of?
The valve flap and valve seat may be made out of silicone, fluoroplastic, or may be treated with SilverOxide. The size of a voice prosthesis varies in length, depending on the thickness of the wall between the foodpipe and the windpipe and thereby the length of the TE puncture.
When did I get my voice box prosthesis?
I had my surgery for Total Laragectomy approximately 10 weeks ago. I had my 1st voice box prosthesis installed three weeks later. It did not work at all so my surgeon swaped it out for the next size larger & it worked just a little & I was having to work so hard to produce any sound at all.
How does a tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis work?
During TEP voicing, pulmonary air comes up the trachea, is diverted through the center of the TEP device and, when the one-way valve opens, comes into the esophagus to bring its walls into vibration.

How does a person with a voice prosthesis speak?
When a patient with a TEP device wants to speak, he or she must momentarily cover the stoma in the front of the neck, so that air coming up from the lungs is redirected through the TEP and into the esophagus to make voice.
