HME with 02 port for pediatric patient
We currently use humid vent mini. We need a HME with JJ that has a 02 port! He hates the trach mask and refuses to keep it on! Does anyone know of one that may work for him! Even if anyone has a spare that i could try before I go and order something that will not work! Thanks you guys! We are needing these because we are now sprinting!

We used some type of adapter (cannot think of the name of it) that sat on the trach, with the HME attached to the adapter. It had a little port on the side for O2 tubing. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

We use trachphone, and used them when on O2 too. They have an o2 port on the side. Never had any problems with them either. See link below:

We have tried TRACOE humid assist III REF 641. It has an O2 port.
Want to try this kind, too?
Just PM us your address and we can send them out as an early Christmas present from Tommy to JJ
