Provox Vega launched
Atos Medical launches Provox® Vega™ with SmartInserter™ – the next generation of voice prostheses
Ten years after the launch of the second generation of Provox, Atos Medical proudly presents the third generation of indwelling prostheses, the worldwide gold standard for voice restoration after a total laryngectomy. Well over 10,000 man hours have been invested in research and development. The result, Provox Vega, designed for a better voice, improved airflow and innovative insertion.
Provox Vega has been developed in close cooperation with leading institutions, doctors, researchers and speech language pathologists, as well as patients from all around the world. The features and advantages of the Provox system are based on thorough research and/or clinical studies. The Provox system of voice and pulmonary rehabilitation for laryngectomees is renowned for being based upon a vast amount of clinical studies.
”For two decades, clinicians from all over the world have known that our indwelling Provox voice prosthesis offers excellent functionality, reliability, and safety. Listening closely to them and their many patients has given us valuable input on how to improve the Provox system. This, combined with untiring efforts in R&D, now gives us the honor of presenting the third generation of voice prostheses,” says Johan Månsson, International Product Manager Laryngology.
Provox Vega is a state-of-the-art voice prosthesis that together with a new insertion device addresses the issues of voice quality, device maintenance and clinical comfort. Provox Vega offers an array of valuable improvements intended to enhance quality of life for today’s Provox users and Provox users of the future.
