Sunset Healthcare Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger

The Sunset Healthcare Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger is designed to help trach patients breathe more comfortably by conditioning inhaled air the way a healthy upper airway naturally would. By capturing and returning heat and moisture from each exhaled breath, this HME helps reduce the risk of dried secretions and mucus encrustation that can lead to tube blockage.

This straight-style heat and moisture exchanger delivers a moisture output of 30 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 100 mL, with low airflow resistance of just 0.32 cm H₂O at 30 LPM. The low-profile design features a compact 12.5 mL dead space, helping to support easier, more natural breathing for patients who rely on a tracheostomy tube for daily respiration.

Ideal for use in home care, long-term care, and clinical settings, this trach heat moisture exchanger is a practical addition to daily airway management routines. Its straightforward, single-use design makes it easy to incorporate into existing trach care protocols without added complexity.

Trust Sunset Healthcare for reliable, well-engineered respiratory accessories that support better airway humidification and patient comfort every day.

What is a Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) used for with a tracheostomy?
An HME captures heat and moisture from exhaled air and returns it on the next inhale, helping to keep the airway properly humidified since the nose and upper airway are bypassed with a tracheostomy.
How much moisture does this HME provide?
This Sunset Healthcare HME provides a moisture output of 30 mg H₂O/L at a tidal volume of 100 mL.
Will this HME make breathing harder?
No, it is designed with low airflow resistance of only 0.32 cm H₂O at 30 LPM to support easy, natural breathing.
What does 'dead space' mean and why does it matter?
Dead space refers to the small volume of air within the device that isn't part of active gas exchange. This unit has a compact 12.5 mL dead space, helping keep the device low-profile and comfortable.
What shape or style is this HME?
This HME features a straight design for simple attachment to standard tracheostomy tubing.
