Wearing an HME as opposed to not wearing an HME at all provides significant benefits such as good humidification. However, you will encounter situations where you may need extra protection, especially during the pandemic and the flu and pollen seasons
That is why the Provox Life range includes Protect HME, which includes an electrostatic filter, developed for situations with increased risk of exposure to dust, pollen, viruses, and bacteria. *
We spoke with Peter Lindell, a Provox Life user from Sweden who enjoys wearing the Protect HME in situations where he may be more exposed to dust, pollen, viruses, and bacteria.
Peter is a 72-year-old grandfather and great grandfather from south Sweden who underwent a total laryngectomy in 2014. His favorite pastime is riding motorcycles.
In many ways I live the same life as before the surgery which is now 7 years ago. I am 72 years old, have three adult daughters and both grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I have been retired for 13 years now. The pandemic affected us a lot but finally we can go out, be active and travel again.
My favorite thing to do is riding a motorcycle. We go for a ride and meet friends who also ride motorcycles, we have coffee and go to exhibitions.
When using the Provox Life products I experience fewer problems with mucus and coughing than before. I wear Protect HME when I am around people and when I need extra protection. **
*Please note: Since pathogens can enter and leave the human body in other ways (such as the mouth, nose, and eyes), Provox Life Protect HME can never guarantee complete protection. Please read the instructions for use for guidance. Please note that the Provox Life Protect HME filtration capacity may vary depending on the size, shape and speed of airborne particles.
** The testimonials relate to how one individual has experienced the use of Provox Life products and not every person will get the same results. Atos Medical AB does not suggest, imply or make any claims other than those detailed in the product manual.
