HME Filters for Ventilators

Reticulated polyester foam manufactured at Breda, in the Netherlands, is impregnated with a liquid compound (developed and manufactured in our VLP facility in the UK) at our Vitec facility in Manchester, who then convert the material into a variety of sizes. The end product is used widely across many ventilator types even down to tiny neo-natal sizes. With precise specifications HME filters are designed to replicate the functions of the body’s upper airway by conserving expired heat and moisture and returning these to the patient during inhalation.

Foams for Bandages/Negative Wound Dressing

Foam wound dressings offer a soft, absorbent material that can conform to the shape of the body. Foam’s flexibility and tensile strength allows dressings to be fitted to parts of the body where flexion or curves are required such as elbows, heels or knees. These dressings are air-permeable and provide thermal insulation to aid recovery.
