The Provox FreeHands HME, Flow (SKU 8221) is a specialized heat and moisture exchanger (HME) cassette engineered for laryngectomy patients who wish to combine respiratory support with hands‑free speech functionality. Designed for active use, this “Flow” variant emphasizes low breathing resistance while still providing effective humidification and airway conditioning.
Key Features & Performance
-
Low Resistance Breathing — The Flow version is tailored for when users are physically active or breathing demands are higher, helping to minimize airflow resistance while still delivering humidity.
-
Airway Protection — By conditioning inhaled air, the HME helps reduce mucus production, throat irritation, and coughing episodes commonly associated with dry, cold, or unfiltered air.
-
Compatibility with FlexiVoice Valve — This cassette is intended to be used in conjunction with the Provox FreeHands FlexiVoice speaking valve system. Together, they enable both hands-free speech and the option to use finger occlusion when desired.
-
Single-Use, Non‑Sterile Format — Each pack contains 30 individual cassettes, designed for single-patient, disposable use. Prescription is required.
Intended Use & Benefits
The Provox FreeHands HME Flow is ideal for daytime wear, especially during motion or exertion, when breathing demand increases. It helps users maintain comfort and respiratory health, while enabling speech with minimal manual interference. Its low breathing resistance design ensures that even during activity, the airway remains sufficiently humidified without significant breathing effort.
With the flexibility to switch between hands-free speaking and finger occlusion, it gives users control over communicative style as needed. The cassette’s discreet and lightweight form factor integrates smoothly into the overall Provox FreeHands system, supporting more natural daily functioning for laryngectomy patients.
