Halyard Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME)

Halyard Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME)

The Halyard Tracheostomy Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) is designed to replicate the natural humidifying and warming function of the upper airway for patients breathing through a tracheostomy. Also known as the Ballard Trach Care HME, this device delivers 30 mg H₂O/L of moisture at a tidal volume of 250 mL, helping maintain airway moisture and reduce the risk of mucus plugging or dryness-related complications in tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent patients.

Built with a straight housing design, this heat and moisture exchanger offers low resistance to airflow, measured at just 0.8 cm H₂O at 30 LPM, allowing patients to breathe with minimal added effort. The blue housing encases a natural foam element that efficiently captures and returns heat and moisture during exhalation and inhalation cycles, supporting more comfortable, physiologic breathing.

Lightweight and low-profile, this HME is suitable for use in respiratory care and anesthesia settings, and its flexible design accommodates a range of tidal volumes for adult patients. Clinicians and caregivers trust this device for its consistent performance, dependable moisture exchange, and ease of integration into existing tracheostomy care routines.
