Abstract

A limb for a breathing circuit manufactured from very thin walled polymer materials has an elongate axial reinforcing spine lying freely inside the conduit and fixed to each end connector. The spine is laterally compliant but axially stiff The spine provides resistance to tensile and compressive loads on the conduit, including that induced by prevailing internal pressures.

Claims (24)

1. A limb for a breathing circuit comprising:

a very thin walled conduit having a first end and a second end and a breathing gases pathway therebetween, a first connector fixed to said first end of said conduit, a second connector fixed to said second end of said conduit, and an elongate reinforcing member lying freely within said very thin walled conduit along a non-tortuous path from one end of said conduit to the other end of said conduit, and connected with said first connector and said second connector.
2. A limb for a breathing circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said elongate reinforcing member has a cross sectional area, measured from the outer perimeter, less than 10% of the cross sectional area of the bore of said breathing conduit.
3. A limb for a breathing circuit as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said elongate reinforcing member is hollow, and said hollow elongate reinforcing member is blind terminated at each end by said first connector and said second connector.
4. A limb for a breathing circuit as claimed in claim 3, wherein said hollow elongate reinforcing member is too small to be a conduit for gases delivery to a patient, but large enough to be used as a pressure measurement or feedback conduit.
5. A limb for a breathing circuit as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said elongate reinforcing member has a solid, substantially circular cross section, and two ends.
6. A limb for a breathing circuit as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein said elongate reinforcing member includes a positive temperature coefficient heating element.
