Abstract: A plastic medical respiratory conduit is provided having a first tubular helical coil conduit communicating with a first source of fluid. The coil conduit is wrapped with a pliable tape to form a second conduit communicating with a second source of fluid. Resilient couplers can be attached to each end of the conduit to form part of a medical ventilator or humidification system, the resulting ventilator or humidification system providing heretofore unavailable advantages.
