Abstract:
1. A respiratory connector for connecting an inspiratory tube and an expiratory tube to a coupling point of a medical apparatus, comprising: a base element; two channels inside said base element and extending along a longitudinal axis, one of which said channels is for an inspiratory flow and another is for an expiratory flow such that the inspiratory flow is separated from the expiratory flow, the channels being in flow communication with respective ventilator ends, and at least one ventilator end being longitudinally oriented; at least one filter element adjacent to and covering the longitudinally oriented ventilator end; a first sealable zone for sealing said base element with said coupling point; a second sealable zone positioned a distance from said first sealable zone along the longitudinal axis for sealing the respiratory connector with said coupling point; and a flow separator, extending between the first sealable zone and the second sealable zone, the flow separator defining the longitudinally oriented ventilator end, wherein both said channels at least partly extend inside said base element between said first sealable zone and said second sealable zone.
