The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is a device designed to be used in anesthesia systems during veterinary and medical procedures, ensuring maximum safety and comfort during the administration of anesthetic gases. Thanks to its capacity of 1 litre, it is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized animals, offering optimal control of respiratory volumes and allowing perfect management of manual ventilation manoeuvres. The construction material ensures excellent resistance to chemical agents and good elasticity even at low temperatures, maintaining the flexibility necessary to facilitate both manipulation and connection to different anesthesia systems.
The green color not only helps to easily identify the device among other instruments, but also helps to differentiate the balloon in the clinical setting for neater and quicker handling. The ergonomic design of the 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Bag is designed to ensure operator comfort during prolonged use, reducing the risk of fatigue during intraoperative manual ventilation. Furthermore, thanks to its smooth surface, it is easy to clean and sanitize, allowing for prompt reuse in compliance with the hygiene standards required in healthcare environments.
Therapeutic Indications
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon finds its main indication for use in anesthetic procedures which involve the need to manually manage or support the ventilation of animal patients. It is used as an integral part of anesthesia systems, where it allows the patient's pressure and lung volume to be maintained, modulated and monitored during sedation or surgical procedures. The 1 liter capacity makes the bag ideal for small pets, such as small dogs, cats and other exotic animals, ensuring precision in the administration of anesthetic gas and management of the patient's specific respiratory needs. Its use is recommended for both general anesthesia and assisted ventilation in emergency cases, in the clinic, in the operating room or during transport. It is essential to ensure that the patient maintains adequate ventilation even in case of reduced spontaneous breathing capacity. To be used according to the indications of medical personnel and under veterinary supervision if used on animals.
Composition
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Flask is manufactured from high quality materials, typically made from highly resistant medical rubber or silicone. These materials are chosen for their durability, elasticity and compatibility with the hygienic-sanitary requirements of anesthetic procedures. The structure of the balloon is designed to resist the chemical agents present in anesthetic gases, maintaining its integrity even after multiple cycles of use and sanitization. The material does not contain latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for both the patient and the operator. The external surface is smooth and free of porosity, a feature that facilitates the cleaning and sterilization process. The bag inlet is compatible with the main standard fittings for breathing circuits, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. The device has no external metal elements, which increases its safety and ease of use in the clinical context.
Contraindications
There are no known specific contraindications to the use of the 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon when used as part of normal anesthetic and manual ventilation practices. However, its use is not indicated in patients who require ventilation with volumes exceeding the maximum capacity of the bag, such as large animals. Its use should also be avoided in the presence of breakages, perforations or degradation of the material which could compromise gas tightness or cause contamination. Use should be limited to appropriately trained healthcare professionals, as improper ventilation may lead to hypoventilation, hyperventilation or barotrauma in the patient. Do not use the device in incompatible circuits to avoid risks of disconnection, leaks or malfunctions of the anesthetic system.
Device safety for the species
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Bag represents a safe choice for manual ventilation of small animals when used according to clinical guidelines. The non-toxic and latex-free materials minimize the risk of adverse reactions, ensuring safe use for both the patient and the operator. Direct control of the volume of air blown in allows you to adapt ventilation to the specific physiological needs of the animal, reducing the risk of damage to the lungs due to excessive volumes or excessively high pressures. Compatibility with the main anesthesia systems avoids connection errors that could lead to system inefficiencies and guarantees maintenance of the required positive pressure. To maximize safety, the device requires periodic inspections for any signs of wear, aging or damage.
Precautions
Before use, it is essential to carry out a visual check of the integrity of the 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon, checking that the material has no cuts, holes, cracks or deformations that could compromise its functionality. It is recommended not to expose the balloon to sources of excessive heat or prolonged direct light to avoid deterioration of the materials. After each use, the bag must be rigorously cleaned and disinfected following the specific protocols established in your facility, so as to prevent any risk of cross-contamination between patients. It is recommended to store the device in a dry, clean place away from aggressive chemicals when not in use. Operators must always wear suitable personal protective equipment when handling and cleaning. If a decrease in elasticity or signs of deterioration is found, the ball must be replaced immediately.
Method of administration
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Bag must be firmly connected to the breathing circuit of the anesthetic system before starting the procedure. During manual ventilation, the operator regularly compresses the bag, providing the patient with the necessary volume of air based on body weight and pathology. The compression must be gentle and controlled to adapt to the specific respiratory needs of the animal, while the release allows the reflux of air or gas into the balloon itself. Thanks to its ergonomic surface, the device allows a firm grip, minimizing effort during prolonged maneuvers. It is possible to modify the frequency and amplitude of manual movements based on the patient's clinical response, as assessed by the doctor in charge. The use of the balloon also allows you to monitor lung compliance and ensure safety during all phases of anesthesia.
Treatment program
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is used in single or repeated sessions based on the anesthetic plan defined by the clinician. During each procedure, the duration and intensity of manual ventilation are established by the healthcare personnel depending on the type of intervention and the patient's response. There are no fixed time limits regarding the use of the ball, as long as continuous supervision is maintained and periodic integrity checks are carried out. In cases of prolonged use or emergencies, it is recommended to alternate two appropriately sanitized balls to reduce the risk of premature wear. It is standard practice to carry out a thorough inspection of the ball before and after each use, with particular attention to any residues, color changes or structural alterations that make replacement necessary. The programmatic review of the devices represents a key element to guarantee continuity and safety over time.
Target species
The 1 Liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is intended for use on small and medium-sized animals, such as dogs, cats and small pets or exotic animals that require a lung capacity compatible with the volume of the device. It is particularly suitable for veterinary use in outpatient facilities, emergency services, specialized clinics, operating rooms and for emergency anesthetic procedures. Use must always be supervised or carried out directly by experienced and competent personnel in anesthesia and manual ventilation techniques. Not suitable for large animals that require larger volumes from the device, for which larger capacity balloons must be used.
