PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce or eliminate condensation occurring within components of breathing circuits.SOLUTION: A breathing circuit component includes an inlet, an outlet, and an enclosing wall, the enclosing wall defining a gas passageway between the inlet and the outlet. At least a region of the wall is formed from a material that allows passage of water vapor without allowing passage of liquid water or respiratory gases.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】呼吸回路の構成要素内で生じる凝縮を低減または除去すること。【解決手段】入口と、出口と、入口と出口との間に気体の通路を画成する包囲壁とを具備する呼吸回路の構成要素において、壁の少なくとも１つの領域が液体の水および呼吸気体の通過を許容することなく、水蒸気の通過を許容する材料から成ることを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
