Breathing conduit

This invention relates to connectors to be provided into fluid communication or engagement either directly with, or via a component to be associated with, a terminal end of a breathing conduit. In at least one embodiment, the connector comprises a body having a first end and a second end, and an internal lumen for the passage of gas between the ends. The first end engageable with a terminal end of a conduit or a component to be associated therewith. The second end engageable with another connector. An internal surface of the body at the second end comprises internal connection features for connection with another connector to be received internally therein. An external surface of the body comprises one or more external alignment feature(s) for aligning the connector or another connection into an aligned orientation for connection therebetween.

A tracheostomy guard couples with a patient interface to reduce the risk of occlusion of the patient interface. The tracheostomy guard has features that may prevent accidental disconnection from the patient interface while enabling suction to be applied to a patient. The tracheostomy guard may prevent patient secretions from being communicated with a caregiver in use.

Connector for a breathing circuit

A connector is described that may be configured to connect between a first tube and a second tube. The connector has an internal component and an external component. The external component has a first end and a second end. The first end has an external taper and an internal coupling face that may be configured to interact with the first tube and the second end may be configured to interact with the second tube. The internal component may be configured to rotate independently to the external component. The external component has a gripping region to aid the user in disconnection of the connector. An attachment mechanism may attach the second tube to the internal component.

A respiratory humidification system humidifies a flow of respiratory gases supplied to a user. The system can include a main housing that receives a humidification chamber, a heating plate included in the main housing and positioned to contact the humidified chamber and transfer heat to the humidifier chamber, and a heating element that provides heat to the heating plate. The heating element can include a temperature sensor disposed in a central region of the heating element. Disposing the temperature sensor in the central region can reduce a likelihood that conductors of the heating element will cause an incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor.
