Anesthesia breathing circuits

Filters allow for multiple-patient use while preventing bacterial and viral contamination and spread*

Compact Anesthesia Breathing System Filters

Lightweight and compact, these small-volume patient-side filters form an effective barrier against airborne and liquid-borne contaminants while preserving humidification.* Their pleated hydrophobic membrane delivers efficient aerosol and liquid retention whilst keeping flow resistance low throughout the filter’s service life. They have minimal dead space and can remain in place for up to 24 hours, allowing safe transfer to a ventilator after surgery without changing the filter. Filters when placed on the patient side, serve both as a microbiological barrier and as a heat and moisture exchanger (HME).

Key benefits of our anesthesia circuit systems

Anesthesia circuit systems* help hospitals reduce costs and improve sustainability by enabling multiple-patient use of anesthesia circuits within a 24-hour period, dramatically lowering the number of circuits required by approximately 60%, cutting daily operating room consumable spend, and reducing medical waste by as much as 2,000 lbs per year compared with single-use circuits. 

By pairing each patient with a fresh mask, elbow, and Ultipor® 25 filter, facilities benefit from lower disposal costs, faster room turnover, and less plastic waste - all while maintaining protection against machine and patient contamination.

Integrated use of Ultipor®25 & Ultipor® 50/55 

Using the Ultipor® 25 at the patient end together with a Ultipor® 50/55 at the machine end provides a fully protected breathing circuit that prevents contamination from both directions: the Ultipor® 25 captures airborne and liquid‑borne contaminants at the patient interface, reducing cross‑infection and keeping the breathing system clean, while the Ultipor® 50/55 protects the ventilator by preventing moisture and microbial intrusion into the machine side. When used together, this configuration supports safe, reliable ventilation.

Machine end filters provide high‑efficiency machine‑end protection by removing airborne and liquid‑borne contaminants and preventing moisture intrusion into ventilators and medical gas equipment.
