100 x Sterimed HME Filter - Adult

Description:

Sterimed HME (Heat and Moisture Exchange) Filter is a vital component in respiratory care, specifically designed for mechanically ventilated and laryngectomy patients. This disposable filter plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal humidity and temperature levels in the respiratory airstream, mitigating complications associated with the loss of natural nasal and upper airway functions. By capturing heat and moisture during exhalation and delivering it back to the patient during inhalation, this HME filter ensures a comfortable and supportive breathing environment. Its versatile design makes it suitable for use with spontaneously breathing patients equipped with a tracheostomy tube, enhancing respiratory function and patient comfort.

Key Features:

• Effective Heat and Moisture Capture: Captures heat and moisture during exhalation, returning it to the patient during inhalation to maintain optimal humidity levels in the respiratory tract.
• Electrostatic Filtration: Utilizes an electrostatic filter with an impressive filtration capacity of 99.99%, effectively removing airborne particles and contaminants from the respiratory airstream.
• Compact and Lightweight: Features a lightweight and compact design, reducing the overall weight of the ventilation circuit and enhancing patient mobility and comfort.
• Low Resistance to Flow: Engineered with low resistance to airflow, minimizing the work of breathing for patients and ensuring efficient respiratory support.
• Universal Fitting: Equipped with ISO standard 15 mm and 22 mm fittings, allowing seamless integration into various breathing circuits for hassle-free use.
• Individually Packaged: Supplied clean and individually packaged, ensuring sterility and convenience during storage and handling in clinical settings.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Respiratory Support: Helps prevent complications associated with impaired airway functions by maintaining optimal humidity and temperature levels in the respiratory tract.
• Improved Patient Comfort: Offers a comfortable breathing environment for mechanically ventilated and laryngectomy patients, promoting better compliance and overall well-being.
• High Filtration Efficiency: Provides superior filtration of airborne particles and contaminants, reducing the risk of respiratory infections and complications.
• Convenient and Hygienic: Individually packaged for cleanliness and ease of use, facilitating hygienic handling and reducing the risk of contamination in healthcare settings.
