HMEs & Filters

• Bidirectional filtration offers both patient and equipment protection from airborne pathogens
• Available in a variety of sizes to meet all clinical situations
• All units feature outstanding moisture output, low resistance to flow and minimal dead space

Bacterial and viral (B/V) filters from Ventlab help reduce the transmission of microbes and other particulate matter in the breathing system. Providing highly efficient filtration, the B/V filters are lightweight and shaped to reduce drag on the breathing system while ensuring patient comfort.

Portex® HMEs provide efficient heat and moisture recovery. All HMEs exhibit low resistance to flow and high moisture output which helps to minimize the loss of heat and moisture in ventilated or spontaneously breathing patients. All HMEs and filters have ISO standard tapered ends to assure a consistent leak-free seal.
