ThermoTrach Heat & Moisture Exchanger |
Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) for spontaneous breathing
patients, for use with a tracheostomy tube.
15mm Female
Connector
The standard 15mm connector can be used with all tracheostomy
tubes. |
Clear Construction
Allows for visual inspection of potential build up of secretions
which can block the airway. |
Self Sealing Suction Port &
Integral Cough Vent
The integrated self-sealing suction port provides ease of
inserting a suction catheter. The vent can open during vigorous
coughing, allowing the thick mucosal secretions to be expelled,
avoiding blocking of the airway. |
Anatomical Curved
Design
The curved design follows the contour of the neck. |
Swivel Oxygen
Connector
The ThermoTrach swivel oxygen connector allows for supplementary
oxygen tubing to be connected and placed in the most comfortable
position for the patient, reducing the risk of disconnection,
kinking and patient drag. |

ThermoTrach is a heat & moisture exchanger used to help
provide supplement oxygen as well as providing warm and moist air
to patients having a tracheostomy tube. Most patients with a
tracheostomy tube have them in position for long periods and in
order to protect them from cold and dry air they need to have a
heat-moisture exchanger. ThermoTrach's features provide the
benefits that those patients require.
