Provox® HME Adhesive
Provox® Adhesive base plates are designed to hold the Provox® HME Cassette, Provox® FreeHands HME, and Provox® ShowerAid in front of the tracheostoma, and to provide an optimized seal to the skin around the stoma.
Variations of adhesives
There are four different types of adhesives, with three different adhesive properties and two different shapes (oval and round).
- FlexiDerm™ – often preferred for its strong, flexible adhesive properties (mean durability: 2 days)
- OptiDerm™ – a hydrocolloid material, so skin-friendly that it can even be used the day after surgery and even by laryngectomees with temporary or chronic skin sensitivity (mean durability: 2 days)
- Regular – a standard adhesive with normal adhesive properties, easy to remove (mean durability: 1 day).
- XtraBase™ – a unique, convex self-adhering base plate. The adhesion properties of the popular FlexiDerm base plate and Provox® XtraBase are alike. But thanks to its special shape and reinforced center, it is also ideal for persons with a deep stoma or anyone using an automatic tracheostoma valve such as the Provox® FreeHands HME.
