This disposable catheter mount is designed to connect the patient's airway to the breathing circuit while allowing flexibility and reducing traction on the airway. It is available with an integrated bacterial viral filter (BVF) or heat and moisture exchange filter (HMEF), or without a filter where a separate filter is used. The integrated filter versions reduce the number of connections in the circuit, which helps minimise dead space and the risk of disconnection.
Key Features:
Connects the patient airway to the breathing circuit
Flexible tube reduces traction on the airway and the risk of accidental extubation
Available with an integrated BVF or HMEF filter, or without a filter
Integrated filter versions reduce the number of circuit connections
Swivel connectors for flexibility
Available in corrugated, expandable and smoothbore versions
Single-use, individually packed
Applications:
Anesthesia and mechanical ventilation
Connecting endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy tubes and supraglottic airways to the circuit
Procedures requiring movement of the patient or the circuit
ICU and operating theatre ventilation
Important Notes:
Single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Do not use if the package is damaged or opened.
Check that all connections are secure before use to reduce the risk of disconnection.
Select the version appropriate to the circuit; the integrated filter versions are not intended for use with an additional filter.
Do not use the HMEF version with a nebulizer; medication may be trapped by the filter.
Replace the device according to the instructions for use.
