Product details
A Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) for Tracheostomy is designed to provide passive humidification and heat retention for patients with a tracheostomy. Often referred to as an “artificial nose,” this device captures heat and moisture from exhaled breath and returns it during inhalation, helping reduce dryness and irritation in the airway. HMEs are commonly used in hospitals, respiratory therapy departments, long-term care facilities, and homecare settings as part of routine tracheostomy care.
Tracheostomy patients often lose the natural warming and humidifying function of the upper airway. Using an HME helps support airway comfort, mucus control, and overall respiratory hygiene, especially for patients breathing spontaneously or during oxygen therapy. Compact and easy to apply, tracheostomy HMEs are a practical everyday supply for improving comfort and maintaining airway moisture.
