The current research is intended to reduce clinical long-term complications that appear in the frequent use of classic tracheostomy tubes in airway management.

The initial functional prototypes were developed, with the main innovations brought to the tracheal fixing system, neck plate and obturator, and were enabled by the advantages of additive manufacturing technologies.
