Improve your lung health with the highest possible humidification HME 24 hours a day

What if you could cough less and breathe better through the night?

Using an HME throughout the day helps to improve lung health and thus reduce excessive mucus production and coughing. By continuing to use an HME at night, you can positively impact your sleep while improving your lung health.

You can optimise your lung health by using the highest possible humidification HME. Multiple studies show that wearing an HME 24 hours a day

  • Can reduce the prevalence of sleeping problems
  • Can significantly reduce coughing and forceful mucus clearance

Optimise your lung health at night

Using an HME at night allows you to continue to benefit from using an HME throughout the day. Just as you would use an HME in the daytime for your lung health, the same benefits from HME use can be gained by wearing an HME while you sleep.

Provox Life Night HME helps reduce coughing for more restful nights (5). This HME offers excellent humidification* for improved lung health in a soft, comfortable design.

Provox Life Night HME offers:

  • Higher humidification compared to other HMEs in the Provox Life range*
  • Comfortable breathability for nighttime breathing
  • Soft and smooth design for nighttime comfort
  • Compatibility with all Provox Life adhesives

Meet Leo

Leo Eppink comes from the northeast of the Netherland and underwent a total laryngectomy 10 years ago. Today he is an enthusiastic patient educator, who has been committed to helping fellow laryngectomised people for many years. Leo’s ambition is to help these people achieve the highest possible quality of life.

“If your stoma is open then it is exposed to dust, dirt, pollution, etc.” Leo explains. “But when you wear an HME your stoma and lungs are better protected. And I experienced less mucus from wearing it continuously.”

Wearing an HME at night

“In the beginning, I did not use a particular HME at night,” Leo says. “Now it is a part of my regular routine. Once I started using an HME at night I found it to be difficult at first but now I find it to be very comfortable."

"It can be challenging to get into a routine and as you adjust to wearing an HME 24 hours a day you may feel outside your comfort zone. But if you can, it helps to be active. Adjusting to a routine of wearing an HME 24 hours a day can help improve your quality of life.”

“Using a good HME helps in this regard,” Leo says and his motto is, “A good night means a good day.”

With the arrival of Provox Life, Leo made the switch from Provox Luna to Provox Life Night HME. He found this transition to be easy because the products are similar to him.

In the morning, Leo removes his HME and the Night Adhesive. He then cleans the skin around his stoma and attaches a new adhesive and HME. These remain in place securely during the day. In the evening, before going to bed, Leo removes the HME and adhesive with Provox Adhesive remover, cleans the skin well, and attaches the Provox Life Night adhesive and Provox Life Night HME.
