A loose tube fiber optic cable having at least one optical fiber, a loose tube surrounding the fiber, with the tube having an irregular inner surface. A water swellable powder is provided around the fiber and inside the tube, where the particles of the water swellable powder rest in the irregular inner surface of the tube.

A two part faucet gauge ( ), having a gauge strip ( ) with strip indicia ( ) and a gauge cover ( ) with cover indicia ( ) is utilized to reduce the time and water wasted in adjusting water to a desired pressure and temperature. The gauge strip ( ) includes a raised lip ( ), so that it is attached with suction to a faucet support surface ( ). The gauge cover ( ) preferably comprises a hollow body ( ) configured to receive a faucet knob ( ) therein. An operator rotates the knob ( ) and cover ( ) until selected indicia ( ) from the strip ( ) and cover ( ) are aligned. The selected indicia ( ) correspond to the desired pressure and temperature of the water. In an alternate embodiment, the cover ( A) and strip ( A) comprise adhesively backed sheets.

A voice prosthesis formed as a small diametered, flexible walled, generally linear tube having an air valve at its inner end, a flexible retention collar intermediate its ends and a mounting tab at its outer end is adapted for insertion into a surgically placed tracheoespohageal fistula following laryngectomy for restoring the power of speech to the user. A larger diametered, relatively short, curved tracheal tube or cannula provided with a retention collar at its outer end is insertable into the tracheal stoma to prevent closure thereof; the cannula partially surrounding and guarding the mounted prosthesis which transects the tracheal cannula, by passing through an elongated channel opening, which is open at one end and extends along the outer wall of the tracheal tube. The arrangement of the two tubes is such that the larger tracheal cannula is readily inserted and withdrawn from the tracheal stoma without disturbing the mounted voice prosthesis.
