The Foam Nose (Kemi‐Intressen AB), a heat‐ and moisture exchanger (HME), was compared with two other commercially available HMEs with respect to its heat and moisture exchanging capacity. During steady state, 77% of the expired humidity is restored to the airways with the Foam Nose, 63% with HME Yortex and 63% with HME Dameca.
