ANAESTHETIC FACEMASK, W/RUBBER DIAPHRAGM OPENING 4.5 CM This veterinary product is a transparent face mask for anesthesia featuring a rubber (silicone) diaphragm with an internal diameter of 4.5 cm. It is used to facilitate the inhalation of anesthesia, maintain it, or deliver oxygen to small animals when intubation is not ideal. The transparent design allows monitoring of the animal's nose and breathing during use.

Main Benefits

Provides a tight seal around the animal's nose and mouth thanks to the flexible rubber diaphragm, helping to reduce anesthesia gas leakage and dead space. The transparent material allows visibility of the patient's mucous membranes and tongue during use. Suitable for inhalation anesthesia, maintenance, and oxygen therapy in small animals. Often includes a neck strap to secure the mask during procedures (depending on the supplier).

Composition

Transparent cone made of clear plastic (such as polycarbonate or PVC). Flexible diaphragm made of rubber or silicone with an internal diameter of 4.5 cm. May include a flexible or silicone neck strap for secure fastening (if mentioned by the supplier).

Instructions for Use

Designed for use under the supervision of a veterinarian for inhalation anesthesia, maintenance, or oxygen delivery in small animals. Place the mask over the animal's nose and mouth, ensuring the diaphragm forms a tight seal without excessive pressure. The appropriate mask size should be chosen to minimize dead space and avoid excessive pressure on the muzzle. A qualified veterinarian should determine the dosage and anesthetic agent based on the animal's type, weight, and clinical condition.

Package Size

The mask is usually sold individually (one mask per package), but availability may vary depending on the manufacturer or supplier.

Note

Transparent masks with detachable rubber diaphragms are preferred for seal quality and visibility, but selecting the correct size is essential to avoid leakage or complications from pressure, such as muzzle edema.
