Sunset Healthcare Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger, with Oxygen Port

The Sunset Healthcare Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger is designed to support natural breathing for patients who have undergone a tracheostomy. Because the upper airway normally warms, humidifies, and filters inhaled air, patients breathing through a trach tube can lose this vital function. This heat and moisture exchanger (HME) helps recapture warmth and moisture from exhaled air and returns it on inhalation, helping to maintain healthy airway conditions and reduce mucus thickening.

With a moisture output of approximately 29.50 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 500 mL and low airflow resistance of just 0.4 cm H₂O at 30 LPM, this device is built to perform efficiently without adding unnecessary breathing effort. Its straight profile allows for a simple, low-profile connection directly to the trach tube, making it easy to incorporate into daily respiratory care routines.

Compatible with a broad tidal volume range, this trach heat and moisture exchanger is suitable for a variety of patients requiring consistent airway humidification. It is a practical choice for home care, long-term care facilities, and clinical settings where reliable passive humidification is essential for tracheostomy management.
