Since the first infra-red CO₂ measuring and recording apparatus was introduced in 1943 by Luft, Capnography has evolved into an essential component of standard anaesthesia monitoring armamentarium.

The primary goal of Anaesthetists is to prevent hypoxia, and Capnography helps to identify situations that can lead to hypoxia if uncorrected. 


 

The Capnomask is an oxygen mask that allows the measurement of side-stream end-tidal CO₂ via its unique double connector located below the nose of the patient. 

This configuration gives an excellent carbon wave form in Capnography, a technique widely accepted as a standard of monitoring.

Features:

• High quality mask protected against deformation caused by the patient’s body heat
• Aluminium nose clip and adjustable elastic strap to hold the mask firmly in place
• Unique front dual connector with a sampling line and oxygen line attached so the sampling line does not need to be “inserted” through or below the mask
• Impregnated with Vanilla fragrance for increased patient comfort
• Ophthalmic version (A202CMx) also ideal for smaller faces

The Duo Flow nasal cannula allows simultaneous delivery of oxygen/sampling of CO₂ to/from both nostrils, thanks to its unique prong design.

Other features include:

• Kink resistant oxygen tubing with inner star lumen design
• Flexible contoured cannula for patient's comfort
• 0.22u micro filter to protect CO₂ monitor
