In-Line Nebulizer Tee Adapter with Valve - 22mm OD Latex-Free Connector

Versatile In-Line Nebulizer Tee Adapter for Respiratory Therapy Applications

Designed for critical care, respiratory therapy, and ventilator management applications, this in-line nebulizer tee adapter with integrated valve provides a convenient, efficient solution for administering aerosolized medications to mechanically ventilated patients and those requiring continuous respiratory support. The precision-engineered 22mm OD x 18mm ID x 22mm ID connector configuration ensures universal compatibility with standard ventilator circuits and small volume nebulizers, while the integrated valve allows the tee to remain in-line even when the nebulizer is removed, maintaining circuit integrity and reducing disconnection risks.

Clinical Benefits and Design Features

• Universal Nebulizer Port Compatibility: Accepts most small volume nebulizers on the market, providing flexibility for your respiratory therapy department to use preferred nebulizer brands and models without requiring multiple adapter types in inventory
• Integrated Valve Technology: Built-in valve allows the tee adapter to remain permanently installed in the ventilator circuit when the nebulizer is removed, eliminating the need for repeated connections and disconnections that can compromise circuit sterility and increase infection risks
• Standard 22mm OD Connectors: Industry-standard 22mm outer diameter fittings ensure secure, leak-free connections with ventilator circuits, breathing circuits, and respiratory therapy equipment commonly used across ICUs, step-down units, and respiratory care departments
• Precision Connector Sizing: 22mm OD x 18mm ID x 22mm ID configuration provides optimal fit with standard respiratory equipment, ensuring proper gas flow dynamics and preventing circuit leaks that could compromise ventilation parameters
• Latex-Free Construction: Safe for latex-sensitive patients and healthcare workers, eliminating allergic reaction risks and supporting your facility's latex-free respiratory care protocols
• Maintains Circuit Integrity: By allowing the tee to remain in-line between treatments, this adapter reduces the frequency of circuit breaks, helping maintain ventilator circuit sterility and reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) risks
• Streamlines Medication Delivery: Enables quick, efficient connection and removal of nebulizers for scheduled and as-needed bronchodilator treatments without disrupting ventilation or requiring circuit reconfiguration

Workflow and Safety Advantages

• Reduces Circuit Manipulation: Permanent in-line installation minimizes the number of times respiratory therapists must handle and manipulate the ventilator circuit, reducing contamination opportunities and supporting infection prevention protocols
• Simplifies Treatment Administration: Respiratory therapists can quickly attach nebulizers for treatments and remove them when complete without tools or complex procedures, improving workflow efficiency during busy shifts
• Supports Ventilator Management: Maintains consistent circuit configuration and reduces variables that could affect ventilator performance, pressure monitoring, and tidal volume delivery
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use with mechanical ventilators, CPAP systems, BiPAP devices, and other respiratory support equipment requiring in-line medication delivery capabilities

Ideal for Comprehensive Respiratory Care Programs

This in-line nebulizer tee adapter serves intensive care units, respiratory therapy departments, emergency departments, post-anesthesia care units (PACU), long-term acute care facilities, and any clinical setting managing mechanically ventilated patients or those requiring continuous respiratory support with intermittent aerosolized medication delivery. The latex-free construction and universal compatibility make it suitable for diverse patient populations and equipment configurations.
