Smiths Medical Portex Bacterial Viral Filters connect to a ventilator appliance for artificial respiration during anesthesia or while the patient is in intensive care. This respiratory accessory effectively protects the patient by filtering the air. It is made of electrostatically-charged polypropylene, which means it naturally cleans the air as particles are attracted to the static charge. This creates a filtration efficiency of 99.9 percent.
The Portex Bacterial Filter has multi-vents and features a flexible coupler to fit tight connections. The circuit end measures 22 mm with a BARB connector, and the patient end connection is 15 mm I.D. x 22 O.D. The Portex 002863 Ventilator Filter can be purchased individually or by the case of 40 filters. The filters are packaged non-sterile.
Smiths Medical also manufactures adapters needed for mechanically ventilated patients who require a tracheostomy or endotracheal tube.
