A device for sealing a tracheostoma in a patient, comprising a seal member for insertion through the tracheostoma to the trachea, which in a first configuration can form a seal by being pulled against the tracheostoma, and which in a second configuration can be removed from the trachea through the tracheostoma. Preferably, the seal member comprises a disc having a predetermined line of weakness, and a first thread attached to the disc, wherein the disc can be broken along the predetermined line of weakness by pulling the thread. There is also disclosed a kit comprising the device and an external cover, a method of constructing the device, and a method of sealing a tracheostoma in a patient, comprising inserting the sealing member through the tracheostoma into the patient's trachea, and pulling the sealing member to form a seal against the tracheostoma.
