Heat And Moisture Exchanger, 32ml Dead Space

What is SF002865-Each Heat And Moisture Exchanger, 32ml Dead Space?

The SF002865-Each Heat And Moisture Exchanger is a respiratory support device designed to maintain airway humidity and temperature during mechanical ventilation. With a 32ml dead space volume, it connects between the patient and breathing circuit to capture heat and moisture from exhaled air, returning it during inhalation. This process supports mucociliary function and reduces the need for external humidification. It is non-sterile, latex-free, and built with ISO-standard tapered ends for reliable, leak-free connections in clinical environments.

Key features

• 99.9% Filtration Efficiency — Electrostatically-charged polypropylene and open-cell foam trap contaminants effectively.
• 32ml Dead Space — Optimized volume balances humidification and ventilation efficiency.
• Latex-Free and Non-Sterile — Safe for sensitive patients; intended for single-patient, short-term use.
• ISO Standard Tapered Ends — 15mm I.D. x 22mm O.D. patient end and 22mm I.D. circuit end ensure secure fit.
• Passive Humidification — Recycles heat and moisture to maintain airway integrity.
• Compatible with ICU and Anesthesia — Suitable for critical care and surgical ventilation circuits.
• Heat and Moisture Exchange — Reduces drying of airways during mechanical ventilation.

Who is SF002865-Each Heat And Moisture Exchanger, 32ml Dead Space for?

This device is designed for healthcare professionals managing ventilated patients in intensive care units, operating rooms, and recovery settings. It benefits patients requiring short-term mechanical ventilation where airway humidification and contamination control are critical. Clinicians seeking reliable, efficient heat and moisture retention with high filtration performance will find this exchanger suitable for routine or emergency use.

How does SF002865-Each Heat And Moisture Exchanger, 32ml Dead Space compare?

Compared to standard inline filters without humidification, this exchanger provides dual functionality—passive humidification and high-efficiency filtration—reducing reliance on active humidifiers. It outperforms basic heat and moisture exchangers with its 99.9% filtration rate and ISO-compliant connections. While similar to other foam-based HMEs, its electrostatically-charged media enhances particle capture. It is not sterile, making it less suitable for long-term or sterile-required applications compared to sterile-packaged alternatives.
