Breathing Circuit adult extended

An Adult Extended Breathing Circuit is a medical-grade tubing system used to deliver gases (oxygen, air, anesthetics) to and from a patient during mechanical ventilation or anesthesia. The “extended” version refers to longer tubing, which provides flexibility in patient positioning, especially in operating rooms or ICU settings.

Product Description

• Components:
  • Corrugated tubing (usually 1.8–2.5 meters in extended models)
  • Y-piece connector
  • Reservoir bag (1–2 liters for adults)
  • Mask or endotracheal tube connector
  • Inspiratory and expiratory limbs
  • Elbow or swivel connector
  • Optional humidification chamber or filter (HMEF)
• Material:
  • Medical-grade, non-toxic, latex-free plastic (PVC or silicone)
  • Lightweight and flexible yet kink-resistant
• Compatibility:
  • Fits standard anesthesia machines and ventilators
  • ISO-standard connectors (15 mm, 22 mm)

✅ Key Features

• Extended Length: Offers better mobility and access for caregivers
• Disposable or Reusable: Available in single-use sterile or autoclavable reusable options
• Low Compliance Tubing: Ensures accurate gas delivery without volume loss
• Color-coded limbs: For easy identification (inspiratory vs. expiratory)
• Optional Water Traps: Prevent moisture accumulation and contamination
• Universal Connectors: Easy integration with standard respiratory devices

🏥 Common Uses

• During general anesthesia for surgical procedures
• In ICUs for patients on ventilators
• Emergency and recovery rooms
• Transport of ventilated patients
