The Montgomery® Esophageal Tube is used to bridge the gap between the pharyngostome and esophagostome following laryngoesophagectomy and first stage reconstruction of the cervical esophagus. The tube features a funnel-shaped superior end to conform to the hypopharynx, and two firm oval bands designed to ensure proper positioning and to prevent leakage of saliva after laryngoesophagectomy.

The Montgomery® Esophageal Tube has three functions:
1) it tends to eliminate the problem of profuse salivary leakage by way of the pharyngostome, 2) it maintains a widely patent pharyngostome and esophagostome, and, 3) it creates a trough between the pharyngostome and esophagostome facilitating the second stage procedure.

Indications for use

• For two-stage reconstruction of the cervical esophagus.
