HME Filter for Tracheostomy | Heat & Moisture Exchanger

The HME (Heat & Moisture Exchanger) Filter for Tracheostomy is a vital respiratory accessory designed to retain heat and moisture from exhaled air, helping to humidify and warm inspired air for tracheostomy patients. By replacing the natural humidifying function of the upper airway, the HME filter supports respiratory comfort, secretion management, and airway protection.

Commonly used in ICU, wards, step-down units, and home care, HME tracheostomy filters also help reduce contamination by acting as a barrier to dust and microorganisms.
