About Rebreathing Bag

Reservoir Bag

Reservoir bags are bladder-type bags, made of latex-free material or silicone, ranging in size from 1???L to 8???L. The 3-L reservoir bag is the most frequently used in dentistry (Fig. 14.21). Although commonly used, latex-free bags deteriorate more rapidly than silicone bags, especially in areas in which high levels of atmospheric pollutants are found (the planet Earth).

The reservoir bag attaches to the base of the bag-tee, usually immediately below the emergency air inlet valve (see Figs. 14.19 and 14.21). A portion of the gas(es) delivered through the unit to the patient is diverted into the reservoir bag, where it may be used for any of several purposes.

Reusable, Durable, and Easy to Maintain

Designed for repeated use, the rebreathing bag is autoclavable up to 134C and supports chemical sterilization processes. Its smooth, non-stick surface simplifies cleaning and maintenance, while its high elasticity and robust construction guarantee a long service life of up to 5 years.

FAQ's of Rebreathing Bag:

Q: How should the rebreathing bag be sterilized before use?

A: The rebreathing bag can be sterilized either by autoclaving at temperatures up to 134C or through approved chemical sterilization methods. Always follow your facility's sterilization protocols to ensure patient safety and product longevity.

Q: What are the available capacity options for the rebreathing bag?

A: The rebreathing bag comes in various sizes to suit different patient needs, with capacities ranging from 0.5 liters to 3 liters. Selecting the appropriate size is essential for effective ventilation, especially when used for adults or pediatric patients.

Q: When should the latex-free option be considered?

A: The latex-free rebreathing bag is recommended for patients and clinical environments where latex allergies might be a concern. Opting for this version helps prevent allergic reactions and supports inclusive patient care.

Q: Where can this rebreathing bag be used?

A: This rebreathing bag is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and ambulances. Its portable and lightweight design allows easy integration into different medical settings for anaesthesia or respiratory therapy.

Q: What benefits does the reusable and autoclavable feature offer?

A: Reusable and autoclavable features make the bag cost-effective and environmentally friendly, reducing medical waste. Regular sterilization enables prolonged use without compromising hygiene and performance.

Q: How does the rebreathing bag operate during clinical procedures?

A: The bag functions as a manual breathing assist device, offering a reservoir for gases during anaesthesia or when controlling ventilation. It ensures silent, leak-proof performance and provides real-time operation for efficient patient management.
