Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) – Respiratory Humidification Filter in Kenya

The Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) is a medical respiratory device designed to conserve heat and moisture from exhaled air and return it during inhalation. It helps humidify inspired air for patients with tracheostomy tubes, ventilators, or airway management systems, reducing airway dryness and improving respiratory comfort. HMEs are widely used in ICUs, operating theatres, ambulances, and respiratory care units.
