Panda Anesthesia Breathing Circuits

The Panda collection brings together McKesson's expandable-tube anesthesia breathing circuits for adult patients — the single-patient-use circuits respiratory therapists and anesthesia providers reach for during surgery, sedation, and ventilatory support. Every circuit in this range integrates a bacterial/viral filter, so you get airway protection built into the setup rather than sourced as a separate add-on.

Choosing the right circuit comes down to a few practical decisions. Single limb versus dual limb is the first: single-limb circuits (such as the 16-C60 and 16-C60L) are lighter and simpler for many anesthesia setups, while dual-limb configurations like the 16-D60 and 16-D108M separate inspiratory and expiratory flow for machines that require it. Tube length follows — options span 60, 72, and 108 inches, letting you position the anesthesia machine at a comfortable distance from the patient without kinking or tension. The expandable design compresses for storage and extends only as far as your circuit layout needs.

Mask requirements vary by procedure. Some circuits ship with an integrated mask in medium (16-C60M, 16-D72M) or large (16-C72L) sizing, ready to use out of the pouch. Others, like the 16-C60 and 16-D60, come without a mask — the right pick when your facility standardizes on a particular mask stock or uses laryngeal or endotracheal airways instead. Match mask size to the patient's facial anatomy for an effective seal and minimal leak.

Because these are single-patient-use, they support infection-control protocols and eliminate reprocessing between cases. Order by the length, limb count, and mask configuration your anesthesia machine and case mix demand.
