A medical tube comprises a tail to connect an embedded wire to an electrical component. The tail may comprise a flattened portion and an exposed portion to facilitate attachment of the medical tube to an electrical component. The tail may comprise a second flattened portion. One or more wires, such as a heater wire or a sensor wire, may be embedded in the medical tube. The medical tube may comprise a connector that comprises a printed circuit board to which the one or more wires is attached. The connector may comprise features to support the printed circuit board, aid in assembly of the one or more wires to the connector, and protect electrical components against liquid ingress.

Medical tubes for respiratory systems

In one embodiment, a medical circuit component for use with humidified gases is described. The medical circuit conduit includes: a body comprising a wall having an inner surface that defines a space within which humidified gases may flow and/or be contained; and moisture transport means and/or element(s) at least partially coupled to and/or at least partially integrated into at least a part of the wall, the moisture transport means and/or element(s) being configured to receive moisture from vapors and/or liquid inside the space and transport at least some of said moisture away from where it was received.

Conduits and other components with wicking properties and associated methods

Some embodiments provide for an inspiratory limb for a breathing circuit that includes a first segment that comprises a first heater wire circuit and a second segment that comprises a second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can include an intermediate connector that includes a connection circuit that electrically couples the first heater wire circuit to the second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can be configured to operate in two modes wherein, in a first mode, electrical power passes through the first electrical connection to provide power to the first heater wire circuit without providing power to the second heater wire circuit, and in a second mode, electrical power pass through the first electrical connection to provide power to both the first heater wire circuit and the second heater wire circuit.
