SELF SEALING WATER TRAP

摘要

A water trap (1) is suitable for use in a mechanical ventilation circuit. The water trap (1) has an inlet (11) and an outlet (12) in fluid communication. A fluid collection vessel (40) is connected by valve means (20, 30). The fluid collection vessel (40) is releasable from the rest of the water trap and is operably linked to the valve means (20, 30) such that removal of the fluid collection vessel (40) causes the valve means (20, 30) to close and engagement of the fluid collection vessel (40) with the rest of the water trap causes the valve means (20, 30) to open.
