BALLARD Heat and Moisture Exchanger with Filter – Advanced Humidification and Filtration for Adult Respiratory Therapy

High-performance HMEF designed for adult patients requiring both airway humidification and protection from airborne contaminants.

The BALLARD HMEF Model #157*, manufactured by Sun Med, combines hygroscopic moisture exchange and exceptional filtration efficiency to meet the demands of modern respiratory and anesthesia care. With a moisture output of 30 mg H₂O/L at 1000 mL tidal volume, this unit provides effective humidification, helping to maintain airway integrity during mechanical ventilation.

It features industry-leading 99.9999% bacterial and 99.999% viral filtration efficiency, a gas sampling port for accurate patient monitoring, and low resistance (1.0 cm H₂O @ 30 LPM) to minimize breathing effort. Ideal for use in ICU and OR settings, this disposable, non-sterile filter is tailored for adult patients with high tidal volume needs.
