The Passy-Muir® PMV 2001 is the aqua-colored, low-profile speaking valve designed for use with tracheostomized patients who are ventilator-dependent or breathing spontaneously. Engineered with Passy-Muir's patented no-leak, closed-position design, the PMV 2001 redirects airflow through the vocal cords and upper airway — restoring the patient's ability to speak, swallow more safely, and breathe more naturally.
Key Features
Patented no-leak, closed-position design prevents air from escaping through the valve

Promotes voice restoration, improved swallowing, and enhanced secretion management
Lightweight and low-profile for patient comfort during extended wear
Easy to apply and remove from standard 15mm tracheostomy tube hubs

Reusable — can be cleaned and reused per manufacturer guidelines
Clinical Benefits
Clinical studies support the use of Passy-Muir Valves to improve communication, reduce aspiration risk, and facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation. The PMV 2001 is appropriate for adults and pediatric patients with a tracheostomy tube.
