A positive pressure pump (according to Starling's Ventilator method) for mice. Assists with breathing during anesthesia and surgery or when an animal has an injury or illness that requires respiratory support.
Highly accurate, rate displayed digitally, quiet, durable, high quality, long lifetime. Up to 300 strokes/min. Optimizes oxygenation by minimizing dead space. Range of options.
Background
Assists or stimulates respiration in a subject which is not breathing, or is unable to make sufficient respiratory effort on its own.
Mechanical ventilation is a method to assist or replace spontaneous breathing.
For use with mice, perinatal rats and small birds.
Highly accurate, quiet, with features for mice
Highly accurate and reliable stroke rate for providing consistent volumes. Uses a variable speed geared motor (with no backlash) linked by a novel variable stroke mechanism. Volume is adjustable whether the pump is running or stationary.
Stroke rate (per minute) is indicated on the 3-digit LED display.
Connections and airflow specifically designed for mice. High frequency rate (up to 300 strokes/min) for mice under anesthesia.
Highly accurate and reliable ventilators due to feedback controlled motor speed.
Quiet operation. Electronic noise broadcasting is negligible and pumps are very quiet.
Optimizes oxygenation by enabling close proximity of air supply to the animal. Respirator incorporates a flat surface for positioning an operating table (minimizes dead space).
Can be equipped with 0.1to 1ml or 0.05 to 0.5ml cylinder/piston assembly for precision volume control.
