This COAX breathing device is a precisely machined apparatus which maintains the surgical plane. The fresh anesthetic gas enters the side port and then passes to the nose cone. At this point the anesthetic gas is mixed with the patient’s respiration and then passes out through a ball check valve to the gas outlet for scavenging. The positive pressure from the oxygen source and the patient’s respiration lifts the precision ball valve for scavenging. A #10 balloon acts as a diaphragm or breathing bag.

The COAX is available as a free standing unit or mounted to a durable HDPE procedures table. This table includes metal strips to hold heating pads in place and points for tie downs. This unit is supplied with face masks (2 rat and 2 mouse), height adjustment collars and 10 ft. of 0.25" ID tubing. The unit measures H x W x L, 2 x 40.6 x 31.8 cm (4 x 16 x 12-1/2 in).
