Mouse Single Anesthesia Face Mask – 3D Printed (TPU)

Safe and Controlled Anesthesia Delivery for Small Animal Procedures

The Mouse Anesthesia Mask is a precision-engineered device designed to provide safe, efficient, and controlled delivery of inhalation anesthesia in laboratory mice. Developed using advanced CAD design and manufactured through high-resolution 3D printing with flexible TPU, the mask ensures optimal performance, durability, and operator safety.

Optimized for use with volatile anesthetic agents such as isoflurane or sevoflurane, the device enables effective anesthesia administration while supporting integration with gas scavenging systems to minimize environmental exposure and enhance laboratory safety.

Key Features

Volatile Anesthetic Inlet

An integrated inlet port (6 mm compatible) allows direct connection to standard vaporizers or anesthesia delivery systems using flexible tubing or Luer-lock adapters.

Integrated Gas Scavenging Outlet

A dedicated exhaust port enables connection to vacuum systems, wall suction, or medical pumps, and supports the use of one-way valves or charcoal filters for effective gas removal.

Optimized Airtight Seal

The anatomically shaped snout interface ensures a secure and tight fit, minimizing anesthetic gas leakage while improving delivery efficiency and operator protection.

Flexible & Durable Material

Manufactured from TPU (~85A Shore hardness), offering flexibility for gentle tissue contact, resistance to deformation, and durability under repeated use and cleaning.

Multiple Stabilization Options

Equipped with needle fixation points for secure placement on foam surgical tables, with an optional version including embedded neodymium magnets for attachment to metal surfaces.

Available in Multiple Sizes

Offered in configurations suitable for juvenile, adult, and large body weight mice, ensuring optimal fit across different animal sizes and experimental needs.

Customizable CAD Design

The design can be adapted upon request for compatibility with specific tubing systems, integration with sensors, or alignment with specialized laboratory workflows.

Typical Applications

  • Inhalation anesthesia (isoflurane, sevoflurane)
  • Microsurgical procedures
  • Immobilization during injections, imaging, or sampling
  • Extended anesthesia with active gas evacuation

Advantages

  • Ergonomic, airtight design ensuring safety for both animal and operator
  • Compatible with standard laboratory anesthesia systems
  • Durable, reusable, and easy to clean and disinfect
  • Cost-effective solution for routine laboratory use
  • Supports compliance with animal welfare and 3Rs principles

Rodent Restrainers and Recommended Body Weight Ranges

Each restrainer size corresponds to specific animal body weight ranges in order to ensure proper fit, animal welfare, and procedural accuracy.

  • The above weight ranges are indicative and may vary depending on animal strain, body composition, and specific experimental requirements. In practice, restrainer dimensions often support overlapping body weight ranges.
  • The dimensions of the devices (restrainers, anesthesia masks, etc.) can be customized upon special order according to the customer’s requirements.
