What is a Reservoir Bag?
A Reservoir Bag is a single-use medical device that is used to deliver oxygen and other gases to a patient during anesthesia, emergency resuscitation, or respiratory therapy. It is a component of a breathing circuit that allows for efficient oxygen supply in order to maintain adequate oxygen levels in the lungs.
Reservoir bags are also known as oxygen reservoir bags or rebreathing bags. They are made of PVC, latex, or silicone, and have a capacity ranging from 0.5-3 liters.
AdvaCare Pharma is a trusted medical supplies manufacturer and a global exporter of Reservoir Bags. Our medical disposables are produced in strategically-located facilities spread across China, India, and the USA. Our production factories are compliant with the stringent regulations necessary for CE/ISO certification, and we regularly inspect our facilities to ensure they meet these high standards.

Material
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic plastic material that is often used as a material for medical devices due to its low cost and versatility. It is flexible and durable, but may not be as resistant to high temperatures and chemicals as latex or silicone. This alternative material is used to prevent allergic reactions in patients and healthcare workers who may be sensitive to latex.
Latex is a natural rubber material that is commonly used as an anesthesia bag material. It is flexible, durable, and has good elasticity, allowing it to expand and contract with the flow of air and gas. However, some individuals may be allergic to latex, so alternative materials such as silicone or PVC are often used.
Silicone is a synthetic material that is similar in flexibility and durability to latex. However, it offers additional advantages as it is more resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, making it an ideal material for applications that involve exposure to heat or chemicals.
Silicone is hypoallergenic, which makes it a safe and preferred alternative for patients with latex allergies.

Uses
What is a Reservoir Bag used for?
It is used to store and deliver oxygen or other gases to a patient during a respiratory procedure.
How is a Reservoir Bag used?
The reservoir bag should be attached with a connecting tube to an oxygen source, such as an oxygen mask or a ventilator. The bag fills with the desired gas and acts as a temporary storage reservoir, which will expand and contract with the patient's breathing. This ensures a continuous flow of gas during inhalation and exhalation.
Are there any storage recommendations for unused Reservoir Bag?
It is important to keep unused reservoir bags in their original packaging to prevent contamination and maintain their integrity, with special care taken to store them in an area where they are not at risk of being punctured or damaged. Reservoir bags should be stored in a clean and dry location that is out of direct sunlight and sources of heat.
FAQs
What are the benefits of the different materials of Reservoir Bags?
PVC reservoir bags offer a cost-effective material that is lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy handling. Latex bags provide good elasticity and durability, which makes them versatile and securely fitting when connected to other devices. Silicone reservoir bags are highly durable and resistant to high temperatures and chemicals. The decision between which material is dependent on materials such as affordability, desired durability, sterilization requirements, and patient comfort.
Can Reservoir Bags be used with different oxygen sources?
Reservoir bags are able to be used with different oxygen sources, such as oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, or even wall-mounted oxygen supplies. The bags are designed to connect to these types of sources using appropriate connectors.
Are Reservoir Bags only used for delivering oxygen?
Reservoir bags are most commonly used to deliver oxygen, but they can also be used to deliver other gases or mixtures, depending on the needs of the patient and the procedure.
Can Reservoir Bags be used for pediatric patients?
For infants and smaller children, a smaller size reservoir bag, such as 0.5 liters, is typically appropriate. For older children or young children requiring a higher oxygen flow rate, a larger size, such as 1 liter, may be more appropriate.
