Passy Muir

Passy Muir is a specialized medical device company that focuses on communication and swallowing solutions for patients with tracheostomies and ventilator dependence. The company's primary product is the Passy Muir Valve (PMV), which is the only closed-position "no-leak" speaking valve designed to restore speech and improve swallowing. By redirecting airflow through the upper airway, the PMV helps restore subglottic pressure, which facilitates weaning from mechanical ventilation and reduces aspiration risk. Passy Muir is recognized globally for its commitment to clinical education, providing extensive resources and training for speech-language pathologists and respiratory therapists. Their products are used across the continuum of care, including acute care hospitals, long-term acute care facilities, and home health settings. Founded by a patient for patients, the company maintains a strong focus on improving the quality of life and clinical outcomes for individuals with complex airway needs.
