A tracheostomy is an opening (made by an incision) through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tracheostomy opens the airway and aids breathing. The opening is needed when your airway is blocked or for some conditions that make it hard for you to breathe. 

The Breathing Shop offers a wide variety of tracheostomy supplies including, but not limited to, suction machines, trach collars, and trach tubes
