Pollen Season

Do you need extra protection from pollen?

Do you need extra protection from pollen?

Pollen season typically begins in early spring and lasts until autumn. Spending time outdoors during this period exposes you to pollen which can affect your health. Without the filtration function of your nose, you may inhale the airborne pollen particles through your tracheostomy tube.

Filter mechanism

A tracheostomy filter may be a helpful solution. XtraCare is a Heat Moisture Exchanger and Filter (HMEF) designed to provide extra protection. It not only humidifies the air you breathe but also effectively filters out viruses, bacteria, and fine airborne particles. By using XtraCare, you can reduce the risk of inhaling harmful substances through your tracheostomy tube during pollen season.

*Since pathogens can enter and leave the human body in other ways (such as the mouth, nose, and eyes), Freevent XtraCare can never guarantee complete protection.
