Carefusion 108509 - TRAP WATER ADLT DISP. 50C
The Carefusion 108509 Adult Disposable Water Trap is a single-use respiratory circuit accessory designed to collect excess condensation and moisture that accumulates during ventilator or oxygen therapy. This water trap ensures the integrity of the breathing circuit by preventing water backflow into the patient interface, enhancing both safety and comfort in adult respiratory care.
Its transparent, durable body allows for easy visual monitoring of fluid accumulation, while its universal fittings ensure compatibility with standard respiratory circuits in both hospital and home care settings.
Key Benefits
Efficient moisture collection: Prevents water from reaching the patient airway, improving the consistency and safety of gas delivery.
Disposable and hygienic: Designed for single-patient use to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and support infection control practices.
Clear construction: Provides excellent visibility to monitor fluid levels and determine when replacement is needed.
Easy integration: Compatible with most adult respiratory circuits, including those used with ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and CPAP/BiPAP systems.
Lightweight and secure: Designed to maintain airflow integrity without adding undue resistance or weight to the breathing circuit.
Compatibility and Applications
The Carefusion 108509 water trap is compatible with:
Adult ventilator circuits
Heated and non-heated humidified respiratory systems
Oxygen therapy and CPAP/BiPAP devices
ICU, emergency care, and long-term respiratory care units
Common application environments include:
Intensive care units (ICUs)
Emergency departments
Step-down units
