Patient breathing circuit heat and moisture exchanger Air-Heat/Moisture Exchanger (HME)

A tracheotomy or laryngectomy leads to a loss of breathing through the mouth and nose, in other words, the natural functions of the upper respiratory tract such as filtering, warming and humidifying the air we breathe can only be used to a limited extent or have been lost. To prevent irritation of the airways due to dry air, dust or harmful substances contained in the respiratory air, an external filter is required. Intended Use: Heat/Moisture Exchanger (HME) helps to keep your lungs healthy by humidifying and filtering the air that you breathe. Air-HME is more useful during the day while physical activity is more, since it has the lowest breathing resistance. Presentation: Supplied non-sterile. 5 per pouch, 6 pouches per box.
