Medical Gases Conduit

Abstract: A conduit for conveying medical gases includes an elongate tube, a sheath provided about the elongate tube, and a pair of connectors provided at opposing ends of the elongate tube. The elongate tube is formed from a breathable material to mitigate condensate within the lumen. In use, water molecules within the lumen of the elongate tube are dissipated by absorption into the breathable material, diffusion through the breathable material, and desorption to ambient air. The breathable material may tend to expand and soften upon absorbing water molecules. Expansion of the elongate tube may be selectively constrained by the sheath. Constraint by the sheath may mitigate the softening of the breathable material.
