Rat Anesthesia Adaptor

The 68053 Rat Anesthesia Adaptor is a specialized stereotaxic accessory designed to securely immobilize the rat head while integrating a built-in gas anesthesia mask for safe and efficient inhalation anesthesia delivery. This adaptor is engineered for neuroscience, physiology, and surgical research, providing multi-angle head positioning without obstructing anesthetic gas flow.

Specifications:

• Integrated Gas Anesthesia Mask:

  • Allows simultaneous head fixation and direct connection to anesthesia systems, ensuring consistent anesthetic delivery and reduced animal mortality.

• Multi-Angle Head Positioning:

  • Enables 3D adjustment and rotation of the rat head without blocking gas delivery, supporting a wide range of surgical and experimental protocols.

• Triple-Point Fixation:

  • Holds the rat head firmly via incisor, nose clip, and ear bars (ear bars not included), minimizing movement and ensuring precise alignment.

• Maximal Adjustment Ranges:

  • Vertical Adjustment: 30mm (from –20mm to +10mm), with 100μm accuracy.

  • Vertical Rotatable Range: 70° (–35° to +35°), with 5° accuracy.

  • Horizontal Rotatable Range: 70° (–35° to +35°), with 5° accuracy.

  • Horizontal Adjustment: 43.5mm.

  • Anesthesia Mask and Tube Specs: Inlet/outlet for 2 mm inner diameter tube.

• Material and Construction:

  • Manufactured from laboratory-grade materials for repeated sterilization and long-term use in demanding research environments.

• Application Scope:

  • Ideal for stereotaxic surgery, neurophysiology, microinjection, and chronic studies in rats weighing less than 300g.
