Fisher & Paykel Airvo Spiral Tube is a flexible, kink-resistant breathing circuit designed for use with the Airvo high-flow humidification system. Its spiral-reinforced construction allows for freedom of patient movement without restricting or occluding the airflow path, making it particularly well suited for mobile or restless patients.

The spiral tube is a consumable item and should be replaced on a regular basis per clinical and manufacturer guidelines. OxyCare stocks all Airvo circuit components and can arrange routine supply deliveries to care homes, hospice facilities, and individual patient homes.
