what is Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME)

Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) help to reduce mucus production and coughing by humidifying and filtering the air you breathe through your stoma. Atos Medical supplies a number of different HMEs that are designed to suit different lifestyles.

Why use a Heat and Moisture Exchanger?

After a total laryngectomy, you breathe through the stoma in your neck. This means the air that reaches your lungs is cooler and less humid than it should be. Your lungs react by producing more mucus, and your windpipe can feel irritated. You may start to cough a lot and have to clean your stoma more regularly, which can be uncomfortable to do in public. Most people find that wearing HMEs can help. Watch this video about what happens inside your lungs when you are using an HME and when you are not using an HME.

How it work

• The foam is treated with a salt called calcium chloride (not kitchen salt).
• When you breathe out through your stoma, the foam collects and saves the humidity and warm air.
• When you breathe in, the humidity and warm air that are saved in the foam are given back to the air you breathe in.

Speaking with an HME

Different HMEs for different situations

• Provox XtraFlow HME - The best HME for active users:Being active means different things to different people. It might mean going for a walk, or it could be those times when you’re out socializing with friends and talking more than usual. The Provox XtraFlow HME makes breathing easier by keeping the air you breathe humid when you’re physically active. It’s very good at keeping mucus to a minimum and helping you cough less, while being discreet, so you won’t feel as self-conscious of it in social situations. It’s also simple to use with a voice prosthesis – just press the lid to speak.
• Provox XtraMoist HME - The best HME for taking it easy: You’re not always on the go during the day. Sometimes you want to relax and take things at a slower pace. That might be when you first get up to read the newspaper, or perhaps as you’re preparing a meal. In which case, we recommend the Provox XtraMoist HME. It keeps the air extra humid and is comfortable to breathe through. It works in a similar way to keep coughing and mucus to a minimum, while being discreet in its design and simple to use with a voice prosthesis.
