A universal respiratory adaptor for connecting medical equipment to a patient respiratory device comprises a machine end 14 comprising at least two male tapers 18, 20 of different diameters, a patient end 12 comprising a first female port 22 concentric within a second female port 24, wherein the second female port 24 has an outer wall 40 which defines a male fitting 42, and a tubular body portion 16 interconnecting the machine end 14 and the patient end 12 wherein the machine end 14 and the body portion 16 comprise a continuous lumen 56 in fluid communication with the first female port 22. The adaptor allows connectors of respiratory or anaesthetic machines to be connected to endotracheal tubes of different dimensions, or to a face mask, to avoid problems caused by incompatible breathing devices and respiratory systems. |
