Product Overview
Smith & Nephew Thermovent T Heat & Moisture Exchanger, Non-Sterile
The Smith & Nephew Thermovent T Heat & Moisture Exchanger (HME) is designed to provide efficient humidification and filtration for patients requiring respiratory support. This non-sterile device helps maintain optimal airway moisture and temperature, reducing the risk of airway dryness during mechanical ventilation or spontaneous breathing.
Features:
- Lightweight design at 5g for minimal patient burden.
- Utilizes corrugated paper media for effective heat and moisture exchange.
- Low flow resistance (2.0 cm H2O at 60 L/min) to support comfortable breathing.
- Delivers a moisture output of 25 mg H2O/L at 34°C for a 1,000 mL tidal volume.
- Features a 15 mm I.D. raised fenestration on the patient end for secure connection.
