What is 9241131-Case Teleflex Trach-VentT HME with 5mm Collar?

The 9241131-Case Teleflex Trach-VentT HME with 5mm Collar is a single-use heat and moisture exchanger designed for individuals with a tracheostomy. It attaches directly to the trach tube via a 5mm inner diameter collar, helping to condition inhaled air by retaining heat and moisture from exhaled breath.
