The Airway Company Shikani Heat Moisture Exchanger for tracheostomy patients is a revolutionary device that functions as an artificial nose for the throat and that allows patients to restore their pulmonary health following a tracheotomy. In particular, the device helps restore normalized levels of air temperature, humidity, and particle filtration when patients inhale air through the HME. The Shikani HMETM is uniquely designed to work together with the Shikani Speaking Valve, which allows patients to both speak and warm, humidify and filter air simultaneously.

The Airway Company Shikani Heat Moisture Exchanger Highlights

  • Substantially increased particle filtration from inhaled air
  • Reduces mucus secretion and thickening
  • Reduces risk of pulmonary infection
  • Restored pulmonary conditions and health

Features

  • The Shikani HME efficiently filters airborne environmental particles (dust, bacteria, viruses, pollutants, etc.)
  • It retains moisture and heat from air that is exhaled out of the lungs and into the HME and upon re-inhalation by the patient, the HME filters, humidifies, and warms air returned to the lungs
  • The end result for the patient is:
    - More normalized and uniform temperature levels from inhaled air
    - More normalized and uniform humidity levels from inhaled air
    - Substantially increased particle filtration from inhaled air
    - Reduced mucus secretion and thickening
    - Reduced risk of pulmonary infection
    - Restored pulmonary conditions and health
  • Also available (sold separately):

More Information

  • When coupled with the Shikani Speaking Valve, the Shikani HME allows for effective speech and simultaneous humidification, warming, and filtration of inhaled air. 
  • Patients can therefore realize the benefits of both devices by using them together. 
  • The Shikai HME can also be used independently by placing it directly onto any standard 15mm tracheostomy tube cannula. 
  • While these devices can be used independently of one another, the combination of the two can help restore the tracheotomy patients quality of life in an unmatched way.

    Love the size and fit

    We use these for our 5yo trache dependent daughter they are the perfect size because she moves along while rolling around and stuff. And it’s a little harder for her to take off because she doesn’t like to wear a filter.

Question: i currently have one of your HME's that is shown in the video- it is blue- but the one shown for sale is white- I am reluctant to buy a case of the white ones before I know that they are as comfortable as this blue one- i don't see the blue one on the list- could you assist or send me a sample of the white one?
