Abstract

The VoiceMaster indwelling voice prosthesis was designed and developed for use in laryngectomized patients. The VoiceMaster pre-production model (0-series), tested during 1997 and 1998, proved to be a safe and valid concept. After the refining of a few technical details the currently available VoiceMaster device was introduced in June 1998. The preliminary results obtained with the device were encouraging and led to a multicentre study. The average device life span varies between the participating clinics, ranging up to 4.8 months. As there still are devices in situ, the average life span is still increasing. Factors such as stoma size and fistula position influence the insertion of the device and should be considered before VoiceMaster insertion. The general experience with the VoiceMaster prosthesis has proven it to be a worthwhile new device in prosthetic voice rehabilitation in laryngectomized patients.

VoiceMaster假肢在荷兰三个中心的初步结果。
VoiceMaster留置式语音假体是为喉切除患者设计和开发的。VoiceMaster预生产模型(0系列)在1997年和1998年进行了测试,证明是一个安全有效的概念。在完善了一些技术细节之后,1998年6月推出了目前可用的VoiceMaster设备。使用该设备获得的初步结果令人鼓舞,并导致了多中心的研究。参与的诊所的平均设备寿命各不相同,最长可达4.8个月。由于仍然有设备在原地,平均寿命仍在增加。诸如造口大小和瘘管位置等因素会影响设备的插入,在VoiceMaster插入之前应考虑这些因素。使用VoiceMaster假体的一般经验证明,它是一种有价值的新设备,用于喉切除术患者的假声康复。
