Blom-Singer SpeakFree HME (Heat Moisture Exchange) System

Whatever your activity or lifestyle, this simple, disposable hands free HME fits your active life.Blom-Singer® SpeakFree™ HME Hands Free Valve is the first heat and moisture exchange (HME) cartridge with a single-use fully integrated adjustable hands free valve. Choose your flow and go. Two simple choices for your breathability: ClassicFlow� or EasyFlow �.

Truly innovative. One adjustable valve with hands free speech that adjusts from light to extra strong, and is an alternative to multiple competitor devices. A SpeakFree™ HME all-in-one cartridge can be adjusted from as little as 45 liters of air to as much as 115 liters of air to attenuate the speaking valve. An inventive new HME cartridge with updated function. Beautifully translucent and non-reflective for a natural look. Specially designed to attach to the entire family of InHealth baseplates, tubes and buttons. Held in place by an adhesive housing, the HME is placed over the tracheostoma for inhaled and exhaled air to pass through. A sophisticated low profile translucent material helps the HME cartridge discretely blend with the TruSeal adhesive housing.

The Blom-Singer HME System also features an integrated MucusShield™ occluder that provides protection to the HumidiFilter from mucus secretions and creates an air-tight seal closure for speech. Many laryngectomees suffer from involuntary coughing and excessive mucus production due to loss of their larynx. Studies indicate patients using a Blom-Singer HME have experienced a 60% reduction in mucus when using the device for at least seven consecutive days. This amount of time is needed to allow the airway sufficient time to adapt and recognize the benefits of the HumidiFilter. Reduced mucus, less coughing, and improved voice quality can increase your self-confidence, and give you more freedom in social situations by reducing the discomfort that comes with feeling as though your condition is drawing unwanted attention.

Offered in two breathability choices for your comfort and activity level, ClassicFlow or EasyFlow: Breathe healthy! ClassicFlow® helps assure you breathe warmed, filtered and humidified air - every day - to reduce respiratory symptoms after a total laryngectomy. ClassicFlow� is designed for increased moisture retention and resistance. 30 per package. 5 optional crossbars included. Breathe easier at work or play with EasyFlow®, the foam filter is more porous than the ClassicFlow�. This allows you to breathe more freely to match your activity level and pulmonary needs. 30 per package. 5 optional crossbars included.

You�ll love the simplicity, and love the innovation! Daily, regular use of the Blom-Singer HME System contributes to a healthier respiratory tract, restores airflow resistance, and helps to maintain optimal lung ventilation. The Blom-Singer HME System does not require a prescription and is reimbursable for Medicare patients.
