Trachi-Naze Filter Cassettes
cut-away illustration of the filter layers

Trachi-Naze filter cassette discs are the heart of the Trachi-Naze system

They contain three filter layers which when sealed onto the skin through the baseplate create a ‘closed’ system, ensuring that all air is warmed, humidified and filtered, and restoring a functional airway resistance.

The Trachi-Naze family of multi-function filter cassettes - all have a place in daily life


The two filter cassette options enable attachment to all Trachi-Naze baseplates, stoma studs, tracheostomy tubes and laryngectomy tubes.

Night Filter
Normal airway resistance adding back almost all lost resistance

  • The Blue Filter (night filter) provides the normal airway resistance which improves oxygenation - these filters would be normally worn at night and can be easily tolerated during sleep.

Day Filter
Half airway resistance allowing free passage of air for daytime use

  • The Green Filter (Day filter) is comfortable during the day for normal activity - it provides half the level of airway resistance - but it is the regular use of the Blue and Green filter which maximizes respiratory performance.

Active Filter
Minimal airway resistance allowing strnuous activities

  • The Orange Filter (Active filter) enables wearers to carry out strenuous activity without losing the protection offered by the filters. It has minimal airway resistance.

Normal use indications: 2-3 filters every 24 hours. Initially upon introduction to the system for the first few days the number of filters may be higher (4-5 filters every 24 hours) - this will settle down after the initial period - approximately 3 to 5 days.
