Edith 500 Heat-moisture Exchanger

What is 55557056200-Each Edith 500 Heat-moisture Exchanger?

The 55557056200-Each Edith 500 Heat-moisture Exchanger is a disposable respiratory support device used to condition inhaled air for patients on mechanical ventilation. It captures heat and moisture from exhaled breath and returns it during inhalation, helping maintain optimal airway hydration and reducing the risk of mucus buildup. This model is designed for single-patient, short-term use in home or clinical environments.

Key features

• Heat and Moisture Exchange — Recaptures warmth and humidity from exhaled air.
• Single-Use Design — Promotes hygiene and reduces infection risk.
• Compact Fit — Compatible with standard ventilator circuits.
• Low Resistance — Supports efficient airflow with minimal effort.
• Latex-Free Construction — Suitable for sensitive users.
• Consistent Performance — Maintains airway conditions over 24-hour use.
• Easy Installation — No setup or priming required.

Who is 55557056200-Each Edith 500 Heat-moisture Exchanger for?

This device serves individuals using mechanical ventilation due to chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD, neuromuscular disorders, or post-surgical recovery. It's ideal for home healthcare providers, long-term care facilities, and respiratory therapists seeking reliable airway management. Patients benefit from improved comfort and reduced airway dryness during assisted breathing.

How does 55557056200-Each Edith 500 Heat-moisture Exchanger compare?

Compared to active humidifiers, the Edith 500 offers a simpler, electricity-free alternative that’s portable and quieter. Unlike standard polypropylene filters, it actively conditions air rather than just filtering it. While not a substitute for heated humidification in all cases, it provides effective passive humidification for patients with moderate needs, especially in mobile or low-resource settings.
