Tube system for being connected to respirator, each tube comprising electrically operated heating element for removal of condensation

摘要

The tubes (10) are connected with a Y-piece, in order to be inserted between the nostrils of the patient and the respirator. Each of the tubes (10) is provided with an inclined projection (40) at its inner surface, suitable for the accommodation of an electrically operated heating element (50) in the resulting space (20). The moisture created by condensation inside the tubes (10) can be evaporated by the heat, resulting in a sterilization of the fluid and preventing the fluid from entering the lungs of the patient.
