• Restores Positive Airway Pressure: Due to the closed position "No Leak" design of the PMVs and the more normal closed respiratory system it creates, positive airway pressure is restored. This in turn promotes louder voice, improved swallow, stronger cough, and increased oxygenation.

• Superior Voice/Speech Production: Patients can produce clearer voice with more normal phrasing, better vocal quality and increased volume because all exhaled airflow is redirected up past the vocal cords.

• Improves Swallow & May Reduce Aspiration: The closed position "No Leak" design of the PMVs restores the patient to more normal physiology. This design facilitates increased pharyngeal/ laryngeal sensation and restores subglottic air pressures which improves swallow and may reduce aspiration.

• In-Line Ventilator Use: Adult, pediatric and neonatal ventilator dependent patients can utilize the PMV™ during mechanical ventilation. All PMVs are interchangeable and can be used both on or off acute care and portable ventilators.
