Dry air and bulky water tanks can make travel CPAP therapy feel complicated. The Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) for CPAP Machines offers a simple, waterless humidification alternative by capturing moisture from your exhale and returning it on inhale for comfortable therapy without a tank.
The Breas Blue Foam HME works with almost any CPAP machine and is compatible with most masks. It is not designed for masks that include a short tube; examples of short‑tube masks include the AirFit P10 and the AirFit N20. Pack one for trips when distilled water is hard to find—or simply when you want a cleaner, lighter setup.

Waterless humidification, explained
This HME traps humidity from your exhale and recirculates it on inhale to maintain comfort—no water chamber required. That means fewer supplies to manage and a simpler routine wherever you sleep. Your suitcase will thank you.
- Skip distilled water without sacrificing comfort.
- Keep therapy consistent away from home.
- Minimize gear and setup steps.
Quick setup and replacement
Installation is straightforward: the wider opening connects to your mask; the narrower opening connects to the long hose. Manufacturer testing indicates the HME can be used for up to seven nights before replacement. The HME cannot be cleaned—simply discard and install a new unit. Some packaging may still reference 24-hour use; this HME may be used for up to seven nights.
- Connect between mask and hose; start therapy.
- Use up to seven nights, then replace.
- No cleaning or drying required.
Compatibility and travel pairings
Use with masks that do not have a short tube. For compact setups, many travelers pair an HME with a travel CPAP like the AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP or the Z2 Auto Travel CPAP for a lighter, no‑water routine.
Want a tighter bedside footprint? A shorter hose like the 4 Foot Slim Style Tube can reduce clutter, and an inline muffler such as the Q‑Lite CPAP Muffler may help soften hose noise for quieter nights.
