Tips
When preparing to travel it’s important to think ahead to
ensure you are prepared for your trip so that you can feel
confident when you travel. There are a few things you can do
and think about ahead of your trip.
Products
Think about the weather
where you are travelling, and
if your product needs might
change where you go.
Ensure that you take spare
adhesives and HMEs for
the duration of your trip.
Also consider taking a spare
voice prosthesis in case you
encounter any changes or
problems with your voice
prosthesis while you travel.
Flying
Often when you are travelling
you might be taking a flight
to get to your destination.
Remember that the aeroplane
environment can be quite dry,
so ensure you take in lots of
fluids for the duration of the
trip. Think about the products
you might need on the plane,
and consider bringing a
portable nebuliser if you need
one. You also might want
to think about using Provox
Life Protect HME for added
protection when in a closed
and crowded environment.
Research
Another thing to think about
when you are travelling is to
know the name of a hospital
that has a Head and Neck
service. In case you encounter
any problems with your
voice prosthesis and need
assistance with it, try to find
one that is closest to where
you are staying.
