This tracheostomy HME filter is designed for spontaneously breathing patients with a tracheostomy. It connects to the 15 mm connector of the tracheostomy tube and helps filter airborne particles while adding moisture to the inhaled air, compensating for the loss of the upper airway's natural humidification. Its low-resistance design supports comfortable breathing, and it is supplied individually packed for single use.
