Respisenz Heat and Moisture Exchange Filter (HMEF)

Designed to retain moisture from the gas expired by the patient who's upper airway are being bypassed by an artificial airway which removes the patient's natural ability to filter, warm and moisten inspired gas.

Mechanism of Action: Patient's warm, humidified expired gas passes through the media of HMEF, water vapor condenses within the medium and is then re-used for humidification of the inspired gas.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Low dead space, to minimize dangers associated with re-breathing carbon dioxide.

• Transparent to allow clear visualization of the inside of the filter.

• Lightweight, to reduce additional heavy connection on the tracheal tube.

• Maximizes the humidity of inspired gases.
