Abstract
A method for forming a hollow fiber bundle unit for insertion into an assisted breathing device comprising spinning a hollow fiber or hollow fibers, collecting multiple fibers into a bundle, filling the walls of the hollow fibers within the hollow fiber bundle with an humectant, coating the hollow fibers containing the humectant with a solution of an adhesive material, forming and drying the hollow fiber bundle coated with the solution, and preparing the hollow fiber bundle coated with the solution for insertion into the assisted breathing device.
