Prevent transmission of infection between the patient and apparatus High efficiency hydrophobic filter media to protect the patient from micro organisms Media also suitable for further converting Our venting filter media are specifically developed for devices which are in common use in the treatment of patients with respiratory disorders. Invasive ventilation is used to assist or replace breathing when a person is unable to breathe adequately on their own. Additionally, in recent decades, Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) devices have been employed increasingly for short-term use in anesthesia and long-term use in intensive care units. These filters offer protection by removing bacteria and viruses before they enter the patient’s airway, bringing thus a crucial contribution in the prevention of healthcare-associated infection. At the same time, venting filters reduce the number of pathogens a patient exhales into the air, contributing to protecting healthcare staff and other patients. Conditions of use include: In the OR and ICU When patients are under anesthesia Patients that require mechanical ventilation Chronic care units and home care After laryngectomy Cellulose and Cotton Media Our cellulose and cotton filters are made of high-purity cellulose and alpha-cellulose fibers, allowing optimal water-retaining performance. Our media can provide a very good wet and dry pressure drop along with improved humidity capacity. The media are also suitable for additional converting including slitting, corrugation and pleating, and find ideal application in hygroscopic condenser humidifiers (HCH) and Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME).
