Gently insert the Provox LaryTube directly into the tracheostoma. Attach these
tubes with either Provox LaryClip or Provox TubeHolder (Fig. 4b-c).

the adhesive into the tracheostoma (Fig. 4a).

NOTE: Some patients might experience more coughing after inserting the
LaryTube for the first time or when occluding the HME to speak. This usually
diminishes as the user adjusts to the device. If discomfort persists the LaryTube
should be removed.

component from the tube (Fig. 5).
