Flexicare Neonatal Single Heated Wire Circuit

The Flexicare Neonatal Single Heated Wire Circuit is a medical device used in respiratory care for newborn infants. It is specifically designed for use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to provide respiratory support and help manage the breathing of premature babies or those with respiratory conditions.

The Single Heated Wire Circuit consists of several components that work together to deliver warmed and humidified respiratory gases to the infant. Here are some key features and components you may find in the Flexicare Neonatal Single Heated Wire Circuit:

Heated Wire Circuit: The heated wire circuit is a specialized breathing circuit that incorporates a heated wire. The wire serves to warm the inspired gases as they pass through the circuit, helping to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels for the infant.

Breathing Tubing: The circuit includes flexible and lightweight breathing tubing that connects the infant's endotracheal tube or nasal prongs to the respiratory support equipment. The tubing allows the flow of gases between the device and the infant.

Y-Piece: The Y-piece is a junction point in the circuit where the inspired and expired gases are directed. It allows for efficient gas exchange and helps in monitoring the respiratory parameters of the infant.

Patient Connectors: These are connectors that attach to the infant's endotracheal tube or nasal prongs, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection between the tubing and the patient.

Temperature and Humidity Control: The heated wire circuit may include temperature and humidity control features to regulate the temperature and moisture content of the inspired gases. This helps to prevent drying of the respiratory tract and ensures optimal comfort for the infant.
