Hi, I’m also interested in connecting with people who currently use a Hood stoma stent. I’d really like to hear about your experience with it—what you like about it, any challenges you’ve had, and what you wish could be improved. If you’re comfortable sharing your experience, I’d appreciate connecting. Thank you!

Not well versed on this platform. Do you currently wear a Hood stent? Size? How often do you replace stent? How long have you worn one?

@trach neither am I. I do currently wear one. I’ve been a trach patient for the last 46 years. Been wearing a stent for about 12 years. I replace them every 3 months on my own.

What requires you to wear one. I have worn one for over 33 years. I can get them to last several years before replacing them. I live in Indiana where the heat coupled with the high humdity is a real challenge to breath. Hoping to move out west where climate is much drier.
