OXY-VENT Supplemental Oxygen Adapters

For patients breathing through a tracheostomy, adding supplemental oxygen while maintaining heat and moisture exchange has traditionally meant compromising one for the other. The Teleflex OXY-VENT adapter is designed to bridge that gap — delivering supplemental oxygen at the airway while preserving the humidification function respiratory clinicians rely on.

The OXY-VENT Supplemental Oxy Adapter (Trach-Vent, 45512) connects inline with a heat and moisture exchanger, giving caregivers and respiratory therapists a straightforward way to introduce low-flow oxygen without switching to a separate delivery setup. This matters for trach patients who need conditioned air to protect the lower airway from drying, thickened secretions, and mucus plugging — problems that arise quickly when the natural warming and filtering role of the upper airway is bypassed.

Common questions we hear from buyers center on compatibility and use. The 45512 adapter is intended to work with Teleflex Trach-Vent HME devices, integrating the oxygen port directly into the breathing circuit rather than requiring a nasal cannula or trach collar. It's a single-patient item, so facilities and home caregivers typically stock replacements as part of a routine respiratory supply rotation.

If you're building out a full tracheostomy respiratory kit, the OXY-VENT pairs naturally with related heat and moisture exchange products. Explore the Humid-Vent line for standalone HME humidification, the Duo-Vent collection for combined filtration and moisture exchange, and Pro-Vent Plus for additional airway management options. Caregivers managing multiple ports may also find the Osto-Ez-Vent line useful across their supply needs.

Whether you're a respiratory therapist stocking a hospital unit or a caregiver supporting a loved one at home, the OXY-VENT adapter offers a clean, reliable way to add oxygen where it's needed most — right at the airway.
