Passy Muir Valve (PMV) "Speaking Valve" Anatomy



When placed on the hub of the tracheostomy tube or in-line with the ventilator circuit, the Passy Muir Valve redirects air flow through the vocal folds, mouth and nose enabling voice and improved communication.  This one-way valve permits inspiratory but not expiratory flow.
