The Panje voice button, which enables people to regain their speech after the removal of their voicebox (larynx), is in the Zimmer display in the Limes Room of the Christchurch Town Hall for the general meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and Faculty of Anaesthetists. Mr Paul Curtis, of Zimmers, inspects the small silicon rubber button, here held on a metal clamp, which is fitted into the throat to connect the windpipe and the foodpipe. The larger button, on the right, which is taped to the chest, prevents the patient swallowing the voice button. The button was invented by Dr William Panje, of the University of lowa hospital.
