Reduce the risk.

The closed system helps minimize risks of VAP-related

infections.

Connect with the continuum.

The AirLife BHME connects you to a growing continuum

of solutions for your ventilated patient with convenient

single sourcing.

Optional filter helps prevent respiratory complications

and reduces chance of cross-contamination
