Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally connectors for interconnecting a conduit of a fluid pressure device to an interface configured to deliver a fluid of the fluid pressure device to a patient. A connector includes a body portion configured for fluid connection to the conduit of the fluid pressure device; and a first branch and a second branch each extending from and fluidly connected to the body portion, wherein each branch is configured for fluid connection to the interface. A concavity is formed at an interface between each of the body portions, the first branch and the second branch.
Claims28
A connector for interconnecting a conduit of a fluid pressure device to an interface configured to deliver a fluid of the fluid pressure device to a patient, the connector comprising:
- a body portion configured for fluid connection to the conduit of the fluid pressure device;
- and
- a first branch and a second branch each extending from and fluidly connected to the body portion, each branch being configured for fluid connection to the interface;
- wherein at least one concavity is formed in at least one of the body portion, the first branch and the second branch;
- and,
- wherein the at least one concavity is a thin-walled region.
A respiratory device configured for delivering fluid to a patient from a fluid source, the respiratory device comprising:
- a connector for connection to a fluid conduit extending of the fluid source, the connector including:
- a body portion configured for fluid connection to the fluid conduit;
- and
- a first branch and a second branch each extending from and fluidly connected to the body portion;
- wherein at least one of the first branch and the second branch of the connector is pivotable with respect to the body portion thereof;
- wherein the connector further comprises a swivel joint connected to the body portion, and a stem extending from the swivel joint;
- a fluid delivery element extending from each of the first branch and the second branch of the connector;
- and
- a ventilation interface fluidly connected to each of fluid delivery element, the ventilation interface including:
- a cannula body defining a cavity;
- and at least one engaging element supported on the cannula body and being in fluid communication with the cavity of the cannula body;
- wherein each fluid delivery element is pivotally connected to the cannula body.
A connector for interconnecting a conduit of a fluid pressure device to an interface configured to deliver a fluid of the fluid pressure device to a patient, the connector comprising:
- a body portion configured for fluid connection to the conduit of the fluid pressure device;
- a first branch and a second branch each extending from and fluidly connected to the body portion, each branch being configured for fluid connection to the interface;
- and
- a swivel joint connected to the body portion, and a stem extending from the swivel joint;
- wherein at least one concavity is formed in at least one of the body portion, the first branch and the second branch.
A connector for interconnecting a conduit of a fluid pressure device to an interface configured to deliver a fluid of the fluid pressure device to a patient, the connector comprising:
- a body portion configured for fluid connection to the conduit of the fluid pressure device;
- and,
- a first branch and a second branch each extending from and fluidly connected to the body portion, each branch being configured for fluid connection to the interface;
- wherein each of the body portion, the first branch and the second branch defines a longitudinal axis, and
- wherein the longitudinal axis of at least one of the first branch and second branch can be variably angled with respect to at least one of each other and to the longitudinal axis of the body portion.
