Addition to breathing system filter family

By Dr. Wolfgang Hares , Cytiva

Back in the days when mechanical ventilation deserved that name and breathing systems had to be electrically conductive, we introduced our first Breathing System Filter, the BB50T.

The BB50T proved to be a solid design. Since then, it has served in hundreds of millions of applications, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The BB50T changed its face over time and grew a family of high-efficiency hydrophobic breathing system filters, on which clinicians and medical device manufacturers rely for the protection of patients, staff, and equipment.

Meet the Ultipor™ 55 filter.
