5-Gallon Breathing Circuit Adapter
When standard anesthesia masks aren’t large enough, veterinary teams often get creative.
In zoo medicine, wildlife rehabilitation, and exotic animal care, large containers like 5-gallon water bottles are sometimes modified into anesthesia masks for species with unique facial shapes or large beaks, muzzles, or snouts. The challenge is creating a secure connection between the bottle and the anesthesia breathing circuit.
This 5-Gallon Breathing Circuit Adapter was designed to solve that problem.
The adapter allows a modified 5-gallon water bottle mask to connect directly to a large animal anesthesia breathing circuit, creating a stable setup for oxygen or anesthetic gas delivery during procedures.
For clinics that need even more flexibility, this adapter can also be paired with the compatible Large Animal ET tube adapter to connect the bottle to small animal breathing circuits when needed.
Instead of improvising with tape or unstable fittings, this adapter provides a reliable, reusable connection designed for real-world veterinary use.
