The invention relates to a set for inserting a shunt valve into a surgically produced connecting channel between the trachea and the oesophagus of a laryngectomee.

The fixing straps can be unrolled after introduction into the connecting channel and then rest against the oesophagus wall. The set has a support with a proximal, essentially cylindrical coupling piece on which the shunt valve is placed, and a holding and releasing element, which releasably holds the at least two fixing straps in their rolled-up position and releases them when activated.
