@thomason I’m sorry you had such a difficult experience with it. I actually love my stoma stent and have had a very different experience. I really enjoy not having to wear a string around my neck, and for me, it’s been much more comfortable and convenient.

@lizzieqmention Hello. Thank you for the response. Please see comment below!

@lizzieqmention, hello. Thank you for the reply. Here is a photo of the Stoma-stent. My ENT told me this was a brand new invention! He was wrong if you have had one all these years! Do you suffer with a great amount of mucus as I do? If so, how you wear one is beyond me. All that mucus is trapped behind the smaller opening of a stent compared to the larger opening of a tracheostomy tube. Please explain!!! Thanks.
