The DuoFlow™ bi-lumen breathing system includes an inspiratory and expiratory gas pathway in a single 22mm limb system.
The internally moulded inner septum creates a gas tight division and allows transfer of heat between the inspired and expired gases, optimising the warmth and humidity of the gas. The design means that exposure to the ambient air temperature is minimised and further minimises the cooling of gases, reducing condensate in the system.
The single limb design decreases the weight of the system when compared with a traditional “Y” piece and therefore reduces potential pull or torsion placed upon the patient’s airway connection.
