Take the tube

The majority of our breathing systems are available with standard flexible tubing, Intersurgical Flextube™. All Flextube™ breathing systems have a unique clip feature: when used with Intersurgical connectors with a recess, an airtight fit is achieved. This ensures that there are no leaks or disconnections.

Smoothbore breathing systems incorporate flexible end connectors at the machine end and lightweight rigid connectors within the system offering improved ventilatory support. Benefits include:
 
- Improved flow characteristics
- Lower tubing compliance
- Lower system volume

Compact® breathing systems are made using adjustable tubing which allows the system to be set to the required position optimising the compressible volume. These systems can be reduced in length for ease of storage and disposal.

In the continued fight against Hospital Acquired Infections, Intersurgical has developed the Silver Knight™ range of products with an anti-microbial additive to further enhance patient safety. This anti-microbial, silver-based ion additive has been introduced to a range of breathing systems for both anaesthesia and intensive care use. Testing to ISO Standard 22196 shows a reduction in bacterial viable count by 99.9% against controls. 

All of our tapers and connections are manufactured to meet the relevant BS, ISO and EN Standards ensuring a secure gas tight fit when using a simple push and twist action.
