A fluid trap is disclosed herein. The fluid trap has a tube connector defining a first interior passageway and a second interior passageway. The tube connector is adapted for connection with a dual lumen tube such that the first interior passageway is in fluid communication with one of the dual lumen and the second interior passageway is in fluid communication with the other of the dual lumen. The fluid trap also includes a reservoir operatively connected to the tube connector. The reservoir is in fluid communication with only one of the interior passageways, and is configured to retain fluid from that passageway.

Fluid trap apparatus

Apparatus and process for forming dual hose cuffs for being split to provide one hose cuff on one length of hose, particularly a corrugated hose, and another hose cuff on another length of hose, particularly a corrugated hose. Cuffs, or hose cuffs, formed by such process. Hose, particularly corrugated hose, provided with cuffs formed by such process.

Process and apparatus for forming dual hose cuffs, hose, e.g. corrugated hose, provided with cuffs, hose cuffs and hose, e.g. corrugated hose, provided with cuffs formed by such process

Process for manufacturing a breathing bag including a connector portion and a distensible portion including the steps of providing moldable material, forming a portion of the moldable material into the connector portion of the breathing bag and forming another portion of the moldable material into the distensible portion of the breathing bag. The moldable material may be provided by extruding a parison of thermoplastic material; the connector portion of the breathing bag may be formed by compression molding and the distensible portion of the breathing bag may be formed by blow molding or blow and vacuum molding; such distensible portion and connector portions are formed or molded integrally. A breathing bag made by such process.

Process of manufacturing a breathing bag and breathing bag manufactured by such process

A multi-lumen hose including a corrugated peripheral wall including an interior area and having an inner surface which defines a diameter, and at least one substantially planar inner partition extending from the inner surface across at least half of the diameter of the peripheral wall so as to divide the interior area into a plurality of lumen and methods of manufacturing such hose.
