Its compact housing and universal adult 15 Fr connection make it an ideal single-use solution for critical-care ventilation.

Key Features & Benefits

Combined Heat & Moisture Exchange

• High Humidification Efficiency: Hygroscopic matrix retains exhaled moisture and returns > 85 % relative humidity to the patient’s airway

• Heat Conservation: Reduces heat loss during ventilation, supporting mucociliary function and secretion clearance

Mechanical Filtration

• Bacterial/Viral Barrier: Pleated filter media provides ≥ 99 % capture efficiency, protecting patient and staff from airborne pathogens

• Low Resistance: Engineered flow channels minimize added work of breathing and preserve ventilator synchrony

Port-Free, Low Dead Space Design

• Streamlined Circuit: Omitting the sampling port reduces leak points and simplifies setup

• Compact Profile: Minimizes rebreathing volume to maintain effective minute ventilation

Universal Adult 15 Fr Connection

• Seamless Integration: Fits standard adult endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy adapters, and ventilator limbs

• Secure Seal: Snap-fit connectors ensure leak-free performance under positive pressure

Sterile, Single-Use Packaging

• Aseptic Integrity: Gamma-irradiated pouch preserves sterility until deployment

• Bulk Supply: Pack of 20 units for efficient tray stocking and high-volume use

Clinical Applications

• Invasive ventilation support in ICU, HDU, and emergency departments

• Heat and moisture conservation during postoperative and transport ventilation

• Infection control when active heated humidifiers are unavailable or contraindicated

• Patients with high minute volumes or thick secretions requiring enhanced humidification
