 Laryngectomized patients were using the silicone rubber voice prostheses for rehabilitation of their voice. However, the lifetime of the prosthesis is limited due to biofilm formation cased by leakage or an increased air-flow resistance, resulting in replacement of the device. Biofilms on voice prostheses from 11 laryngectomized patients were examined microbiologically and pathologically. Candida species were revealed in all voice prostheses and Candida species were thought to be mainly responsible for clinical failure of silicone rubber voice prostheses. Development of prostheses with antimycotic agents or effective methods to prolong the lifetime of the device is essential.
