Ventilator Circuit Tip-Up
Free!
The Ventilator Circuit Tip-Up is a sterile, single-use respiratory support circuit designed for safe and effective patient ventilation. With its flexible tip-up design, swivel connectors, and dual-limb tubing, it ensures comfort, reliability, and compatibility with most ventilators—ideal for ICU, surgical, or transport use across both adult and pediatric care.
Description
The Ventilator Circuit Tip-Up is a specialized component of respiratory support systems, designed to deliver safe and efficient ventilation to patients in critical care, surgical, or emergency settings. This circuit plays a crucial role in connecting the mechanical ventilator to the patient’s airway, ensuring the continuous delivery of oxygen-enriched air and the removal of exhaled gases. The “Tip-Up” configuration refers to a specific design feature that allows for enhanced flexibility and positioning during use, particularly beneficial in dynamic care environments.
Crafted with medical-grade, biocompatible materials, the Tip-Up ventilator circuit is compatible with a wide range of ventilators and is suitable for both adult and pediatric patients. It includes essential components such as inspiratory and expiratory limbs, a Y-connector, water traps, and swivel connectors, allowing for smooth airflow and minimizing dead space or kinking. The design also ensures optimal humidification and temperature control when paired with active or passive humidifiers.

Pediatric & Adult Care: Available in various sizes and configurations for age-specific needs.
Comparison to Traditional Circuits
Unlike basic ventilator circuits, the Tip-Up version offers better handling and ergonomic advantages during patient positioning, especially in confined or mobile setups. It reduces tube strain on the patient and lowers the risk of accidental disconnection or circuit malfunction.
Compliance & Safety
These circuits are typically manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management systems for medical devices and may comply with EN standards or equivalent safety certifications for respiratory equipment, ensuring reliability in high-risk clinical environments.
