- HME Function: Its main function is to capture heat and moisture from the patient's exhaled air and return them to the inhaled air. This process warms and humidifies the air reaching the lungs, simulating the natural function of the nose and upper respiratory system.
- Airway Protection: Humidifying and warming the air is critical for patients with tracheostomy, as it helps prevent airway dryness, the formation of thick secretions, and the risk of infections.
- Smooth-Flo Extension: The integrated flexible extension ("Smooth-Flo" tube) allows easy connection to the tracheostomy tube and provides flexibility of movement for the patient, reducing the likelihood of disconnection.
- Lightweight Design: It is designed to be lightweight, reducing pull and pressure on the tracheostomy tube for greater patient comfort.
Heat and moisture exchange filter (HME - Heat and Moisture Exchanger), also known as "artificial nose", which is used in patients with tracheostomy.
