Heated Humidifier for Trach is a heated, active humidification device placed in the breathing circuit of a tracheostomized patient to warm and humidify the air delivered through the trach tube. Humidification is critical in trach patients because the upper airway — which naturally warms and moistens inhaled air — has been bypassed, making the lower airway vulnerable to drying, mucus plugging, and secretion retention.

OxyCare supplies trach humidifiers as part of comprehensive tracheostomy care setups, and can coordinate all related accessories including heated breathing tubes, water chambers, and trach care supplies. Rental is available.
