Reusable (Silicon Quality) , Autoclavable Neonatal Patient Circuit with Single Heated Wire

A neonatal silicone circuit, primarily used in infant ventilators, features a design with low flow resistance, minimal dead volume, high flexibility, kink resistance, and is made from medical-grade silicone to ensure biocompatibility, allowing for safe and efficient delivery of breathing gas to a newborn baby; key features include:

• Low flow resistance:

  The smooth inner surface of the silicone tubing minimizes turbulence and resistance to gas flow, crucial for delicate infant lungs. 

• Minimal dead space:

  A small internal volume helps prevent excessive gas accumulation and ensures accurate ventilation. 

• High flexibility:

  The silicone material allows for easy bending and conforming to the infant's anatomy, reducing discomfort. 

• Kink resistance:

  Special design elements like spiral reinforcement can prevent the tubing from kinking, ensuring consistent gas delivery. 

• Small size:

  Circuits are designed with smaller diameter tubing to accommodate the smaller airway of a newborn. 

• Water trap design:

  Often includes a dedicated water trap to collect condensate and prevent fluid from entering the infant's airway. 

• Heated wire option:

  Some neonatal circuits incorporate a heating element to deliver warm, humidified gas, especially important for premature infants. 

• Biocompatibility:

  Medical-grade silicone ensures minimal risk of allergic reactions or tissue irritation. 

• Sterilization capability:

  Can be sterilized through autoclave processes for reuse.
