Dual Mouse Anesthesia Mask – 3D Printed (TPU)

Efficient and Controlled Anesthesia for Parallel Small Animal Procedures

The Dual Mouse Anesthesia Mask is a precision-engineered device designed to enable the simultaneous delivery of inhalation anesthesia to two mice using a single anesthetic system. Developed using advanced CAD design and manufactured through high-resolution 3D printing with flexible TPU, the device ensures efficient workflow while maintaining safety, comfort, and performance.

Optimized for use with volatile anesthetic agents such as isoflurane or sevoflurane, the mask integrates dual anatomically shaped snout ports within a compact structure. This design allows parallel procedures without the need for additional equipment, making it ideal for modern laboratory environments.

Key Features

Dual Snout Chamber Design

Two anatomically shaped snout ports allow secure and comfortable positioning of two mice simultaneously, minimizing leakage and ensuring consistent anesthetic delivery.

Single Anesthetic Inlet System

A shared inlet port connects to standard vaporizers via flexible tubing (6 mm compatible), distributing anesthetic gas evenly through symmetrical internal channels.

Integrated Scavenging Outlet

A single exhaust port supports gas removal via connection to vacuum systems, wall suction, or medical pumps, and is compatible with one-way valves and charcoal filters.

Optimized Airtight Construction

The flexible TPU structure ensures a secure seal around the snout, minimizing anesthetic leakage and enhancing operator safety.

Flexible & Durable Material

Manufactured from TPU (95A Shore hardness), providing soft tissue contact, mechanical durability, and resistance to repeated use and cleaning.

Stable and Compact Form Factor

The compact design allows stable positioning on surgical platforms, supporting precise handling during procedures.

Multiple Fixation Options

Includes needle-mount points for foam surgical tables and an optional version with embedded neodymium magnets for secure placement on metal surfaces.

Available in Multiple Sizes

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

Customizable CAD Design

Design modifications are available upon request, including alternative connectors or compatibility with multi-port anesthetic systems.

Efficient and Controlled Anesthesia for Parallel Small Animal Procedures

  • Inhalation anesthesia (isoflurane, sevoflurane)
  • Simultaneous procedures on two animals
  • Microsurgery and minor surgical interventions
  • Drug administration under anesthesia
  • Imaging and experimental procedures

Advantages

  • Enables simultaneous anesthesia of two animals using a single system
  • Reduces equipment cost, space, and setup complexity
  • Improves experimental throughput and workflow efficiency
  • Maintains high standards of operator safety and animal comfort
  • Durable, reusable, and easy to clean
  • 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.
