Thanks to the anatomical face mask design, you have head to tail access. The face mask reduces the technicians exposure to gas by sequestering and filtering waste, minimizing dead space and leakage. You can reduce rodent stress by limiting handling required when using injectable anesthesia. By choosing these gas masks with isoflurane and thereby reducing the use of Schedule II drugs, you can simplify your lab management. Setting-up and changing masks is simple, and the swivel adapters allow you to make adjustments quickly and even modify the mask for stereotaxic uses. Gas anesthesia reduces recovery time, making for a faster and more efficient lab.
