HME filter or heat and moisture exchanger with filter: Passive heat and moisture exchangers (HME) offer a simple and effective way to replace one of the most important upper respiratory (nasal) functions; They retain the heat and moisture of the exhaled air and return it to the inspired gases. Since the nasal cavities generally play a very active role in this conditioning, the HME is also called an “artificial nose”.
The HME also provides a high level of microbial filtration for patient and staff safety and an exceptional humidification effect for effective airway humidification. The resistance to air flow is low for safe use in any ventilation technology. Combines good filtration efficiency and humidification effect with low dead space.
