Portex Helmier Heat and Moisture Exchanger Filter

Portex Helmier Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) Filter is designed to conserve heat and moisture from a patient’s exhaled air and return it during inhalation, helping to maintain optimal airway humidity. It is commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients and during anesthesia to reduce the drying of respiratory gases and support normal lung function.

Its compact and lightweight design ensures minimal added load on the breathing circuit, while low dead space helps reduce carbon dioxide re-breathing. The integrated CO₂ sampling port allows easy monitoring of airway gases without disconnecting the circuit, making it suitable for ICU, OT, and critical care settings.

Benefits of Helmier Heat and Moisture Exchanger Filter

• Low dead space minimizes CO₂ re-breathing
• Integrated CO₂ sampling port for convenient airway gas monitoring
• Lightweight design reduces strain on the breathing circuit
• Low resistance to airflow decreases work of breathing
• Helps retain heat and moisture to protect airway mucosa
• Suitable for ventilation and anesthesia circuits

Safety Information

• Do not use the package if it is damaged.
• Keep far from children.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
