Covidien Double Swivel Connector DAR™

Double Swivel Connector DAR™

The DAR Double Swivel Connector is a respiratory circuit connector designed to move with the circuit and help reduce torque at the tracheal or tracheostomy tube. It fits workflows where clinicians need better positioning, easier circuit movement, and access for suction catheter or bronchoscope insertion through a capped port. This connector extends from 4 cm to 13 cm, holds its shape for placement, and comes clean in individual packaging.

Good Fit For

• Respiratory circuit setups where tube torque is a concern
• Applications needing bronchoscope or suction catheter access
• Workflows that benefit from adjustable connector length and positioning

Key Features

• Double swivel design moves with the circuit to help reduce torque at the tracheal or tracheostomy tube
• Capped port supports insertion of a suction catheter or bronchoscope during use
• Extends from 4 cm to 13 cm to reduce dead space for each application
• Holds its shape for better positioning and maintained placement
• Lightweight construction helps reduce torque and circuit weight
• Clean, individually packaged format supports organized handling

Applications and Usage

• Connecting a respiratory circuit while allowing the connector to move with the tubing
• Providing access through the capped port for suction catheter insertion
• Providing access through the capped port for bronchoscope insertion
• Adjusting connector length from 4 cm to 13 cm to reduce dead space for the application
• Positioning the circuit and maintaining placement with a shape-holding connector
