Product Description
Anesthesia Face MasksAnesthesia face masks are essential tools in medical procedures, designed to cover both the mouth and nose of the patient to deliver oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other inhalation anesthetics. These masks are typically made from clear plastic or rubber, allowing for the observation of the patients condition and ensuring the patients mouth and nose are visible. They come in various sizes to accommodate different face shapes and sizes, and they often feature inflatable cushions that can be adjusted to provide a better seal.
Several types of anesthesia masks are available, including:
- Standard Anesthesia Face Mask: Features an inflatable cuff to create a seal between the mask and the patients face, allowing for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) when a pressurized gas source is available.
- Patil-Syracuse Mask: A variation of the standard mask with an additional port designed to accommodate endotracheal tubes or endoscopic devices, facilitating procedures like fiberoptic intubation or bronchoscopy while administering bag-mask ventilation.
- Endoscopy Mask: Similar to the Patil-Syracuse mask, but with a port located centrally over the patients mouth, making it more versatile for oral or nasal intubation. It also allows for non-invasive ventilation during endoscopic procedures.
- Rodent Gas Masks: Specifically designed for use with mice and rats in research settings, these masks provide stability for examinations and surgery while minimizing the technicians exposure to gas and reducing rodent stress.
These masks are crucial for ensuring patient safety and comfort during anesthesia procedures and are available in various materials, sizes, and configurations to suit different clinical needs.
