摘要: Disclosed is an air tube for use in a spirometer. This disposable and at least partially, preferably completely, biodegradable, so that can be economically produced discarded after by single spirometer user. Cross-patient contamination expensive sterilization procedures are thus avoided. In addition, making this biodegradable allows the of plentiful inexpensive materials construction, such as cardboard, paper, polymers like, reduces environmental burden caused disposing component.
