Summary: | A respiratory apparatus for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a flow generator (20) that generates a supply of pressurised gas to be delivered to the patient; a humidifier (1) for vaporising water and delivering water vapor to humidify the gas; a gas flow path leading from the flow generator to the humidifier and from the humidifier to a patient interface (5); and a heater in thermal contact with the gas and/or the water, wherein the heater (16) comprises an elongate heating filament in the form of a tape. A humidifier for respiratory apparatus includes a first respiratory gas passage (10) for receiving gas from a flow generator, a humidifier chamber, a second respiratory gas passage (4) for delivering humidified gas to a patient interface (5), and a heater in thermal contact with the gas and/or the water, wherein the heater comprises an elongate heating filament (18, 19) extending along at least part of both said first and second respiratory gas passages.
