{"product_id":"t-piece-system-type","title":"T-PIECE SYSTEM TYPE","description":"T-Piece System Type\n\nThe T-Piece System Type is a veterinary respiratory device used in the anesthesia of small animals. It provides a low-resistance and low dead space pathway to deliver fresh gas directly to the patient, making it particularly suitable for cats, small dogs, and other small mammals. This system typically consists of a corrugated breathing tube, a patient connector, an open-ended reservoir limb (often with a breathing bag), and an adjustable pressure-limiting (APL) valve when available.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMain Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\nLow breathing resistance, facilitating spontaneous or manual ventilation in small patients\u003cbr\u003eMinimal mechanical dead space, reducing the risk of rebreathing exhaled gases\u003cbr\u003eSimple, lightweight design that is cost-effective and easy to use in veterinary settings\u003cbr\u003eProvides a fresh gas reservoir limb, allowing for reduced fresh gas flow rates while maintaining effective ventilation\u003cbr\u003eWhen equipped with an APL valve (Jackson-Rees modification), it allows for safe manual ventilation and pressure relief\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComponents\u003c\/h2\u003e\nCorrugated breathing tube (usually about 1.8 m long)\u003cbr\u003ePatient connector (e.g., 22 mm to 15 mm)\u003cbr\u003eOpen-ended reservoir limb, often equipped with a 0.5 liter breathing bag\u003cbr\u003eOptional APL valve for pressure control and safety\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstructions for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis system is connected between the anesthesia machine and the patient via a breathing tube or a tight-fitting face mask. Fresh gas flows through the side arm into the main limb and is inhaled by the patient. Exhaled gases are directed to the reservoir limb and expelled during the expiratory pause. When equipped with an APL valve, manual ventilation can be performed by occluding the bag and gently squeezing it to deliver positive pressure breaths. Fresh gas flow must be sufficient to prevent rebreathing, and ventilation parameters should be determined by a qualified veterinarian based on species, weight, and clinical condition.\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\nPackage contents vary by manufacturer and model. A typical veterinary T-Piece system package may include one breathing tube (e.g., 1.8 m), one patient connector (e.g., 22\/15 mm), one 0.5 liter latex-free breathing bag, and one APL valve when available.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNote\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis system is particularly suitable for small animal patients (typically less than 7–10 kg), where its low dead space and low resistance offer significant advantages. Models equipped with an APL valve (Jackson-Rees modification) enhance safety by preventing excessive pressure delivery.","brand":"MINDRAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44532100202589,"sku":"040-001703-00","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/0106\/7101\/files\/040-001703-00.jpg?v=1781783299","url":"https:\/\/shopivet.com\/en-us\/products\/t-piece-system-type","provider":"Shopivet.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
