Zusammenfassung:	Conduits for use in a respiratory therapy apparatus for delivering breathable gas to a patient are disclosed. In one example the conduit comprises a tubular wall and a helical formation provided to an outer surface of the tubular wall, wherein the conduit has a stretch limit of at least 100%. In another example a first portion of the conduit has a first stretch limit and a second portion of the conduit has a second stretch limit which is greater than the first stretch limit. The first portion is formed integrally with the second portion, and the helical formation is provided to the first and second portions. In another example the stretch limit of the conduit varies substantially continuously between a first end of the conduit and an opposite second end of the conduit. In other examples the diameter of the conduit varies along the length of the conduit.
