Teleflex Smooth-Flo Suction Products

The Smooth-Flo line from Teleflex supports respiratory care where airway management and patient comfort matter most. This collection centers on the Teleflex Smooth-Flo Flex Tubes with HME (20011) — flexible connector tubing designed to bridge the ventilator circuit and the patient's airway while an integrated heat and moisture exchanger conditions inspired air.

For clinicians and respiratory therapists, the questions here are practical: does the tubing flex without kinking, does the HME retain enough humidity to protect the airway mucosa, and does the connection stay secure through repositioning? The flexible design accommodates head and neck movement and helps reduce traction on the airway, while the built-in HME captures the patient's own exhaled heat and moisture and returns it on the next breath — a passive, cost-effective alternative to active humidification for many short- and medium-term ventilation and tracheostomy scenarios.

If you're stocking a respiratory cart or fulfilling a facility order, note that these are single-patient-use components chosen for compatibility with standard 22mm/15mm circuit fittings. Match the HME to your patient's minute ventilation and secretion load, and pair with suction and airway-clearance supplies as needed.
