Discover respiratory and anesthesia protection you can trust. Manufactured by Pharma Systems of Sweden, our HMEs and Bi-Directional Filters offer bacterial and viral filtration efficiencies greater than 99.99% and begin humidifying from the very first breath with no required saturation time. Explore the difference which includes:
- In-line nebulization treatments without taking the device out of line
- Suitable for adult to neonate and short term to long term patients
- High efficiency solution made from high tech fibers and designed for optimal performance
- HME filters with humidification efficiency up to 33mgH2O/L
- Maintain mucociliary transport while preventing mucosal damage
- Keep patient circuits dry (no need for water traps & heated wire)
- Protect against cross contamination and experience fewer daily changeouts
When Every Breath Counts TM
Under normal conditions, the nose and upper airways humidify, heat up and filter the air we breathe. This is crucial for the mucociliary cleansing system in the airway to function properly. However, when ventilated and during anesthesia, the patient is intubated either with an ET-tube, LMA or a tracheostomy tube. Then the Heat & Moisture and Filtering mechanisms are bypassed which exposes dry ventilatory gases to the lung system. Longer periods of breathing dry and cold gases could lead to the following:
- Reduction in ciliary function
- Mucosal injury
- Airway obstruction from thick secretions
- Respiratory heat loss (hypothermia)
- Indirectly to Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Our HME’s are an easy way to correct or avoid this condition, by simply collecting the patient’s expired Heat & Moisture within its hygroscopic media. Then it returns it during the following inspiration.

The Importance of HCH/Filter Design
Our HMEs and Filters are manufactured by Pharma Systems of Sweden, who has been developing breathing comfort safety systems for decades using quality materials and testing standards. They are a high efficiency solution made from high tech fibers designed for optimal performance. Designed with a smooth housing that utilizes most of the surface area for the air exchange to take place, which results in optimal performance with high humidification properties. Daily in-house tests are conducted to ensure quality with continuous evaluation to find the best manufacturing and user solutions. Additional features include:
- Lightweight, time saving, and low cost
- No need for electricity and additional water
- Round shape provides equal spread of airstream and creation of turbulences in corners is eliminated
- Conical fittings are in accordance with ISO standards to ensure good connection stability
- Different filter options including ports, angles and elbows to ensure the right choice of device
- Seamless integration with flex tubes, elbows, masks and more
