Heated conduit for respiratory humidification

摘要

A conduit (50) for carrying humidified gases includes a tube extending between a first end (50A) and a second end (50B) and a helical wire positioned in the tube. The helical wire (54) is formed of a conductive core defining a shape of the helical wire. An electrical receptacle is positioned at the first end of the tube and electrically coupled to the communication ends of the helical wire.
