HIGH PERFORMANCE

…combining essential conditioning, protection and comfort
At Kapitex, we have listened to users’ comments
over the years and have incorporated updates in
the presentation of the Buchanan Protector.
The Buchanan Lite Laryngectomy/ Tracheostomy
Protector offers a wider choice to Laryngectomy
and Tracheostomy patients. We recognise that
Stoma Protectors need to give the wearer
confidence, not only in ‘looking good’, but also in
its airway protection performance.
The Buchanan Lite range features the latest
in materials to provide
• Good filtration
• Excellent heat and moisture exchange
into the trachea
• Helps to prevent drying and crusting
Buchanan® Lite - the only
stoma protectors that offer
these benefits…

Buchanan ®
Lite…Better Breathing, Better Stoma Care. Adding Q

Available on
NHS Prescription
The Buchanan Lite is a
serious medical device.
By introducing colours to the range - many
people will prefer to choose a coloured
protector.
• However, it is important to note that the
Buchanan Lite does provide good levels of
filtration and airway protection, particularly
when you compare the product to lesser
quality specifications of competitors’
stoma covers.
• Our materials are dedicated to healthcare
requirements and have been chosen
carefully to provide airway protection to
improve and help reduce problems after
Laryngectomy and Tracheostomy.
• Please note: for your safety and hygiene the
Buchanan Lite Protector is recommended to
be washed no more than 3 times. This is to
ensure maximum performance of the
dedicated filtration material.
