Description

The MM Care™ Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) Filter is a sterile, single-use respiratory device designed to retain heat and moisture from a patient’s exhaled air and filter airborne contaminants, ensuring clean, humidified air for patients on ventilators or anesthesia circuits. Available in Adult and Pediatric sizes, the HME filter supports efficient airway conditioning while reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ventilator-associated infections (VAP).
