Does it have a locking mechanism?

Yes, it features a secure design with an outer cap embossed with the word “LOCK” to indicate how to properly secure it into the tracheostomy tube.

Can this be used for home-care respiratory settings?

Absolutely. It is designed for use in both clinical and home-care respiratory environments, following professional airway management protocols.
