Product Description

The challenge of delivering oxygen to an animal in respiratory distress is difficult in most veterinary clinical situations. An oxygen cage or an ICU unit is an expense beyond the budget of most clinics. The hand held use of anesthesia masks or nasal cannula is stressful to the animal and labor intensive, the Oxy Hood was developed to deliver oxygen in a less restrictive and stressful environment. The Oxy Hood uses the conventional cone shape of an Elizabethan collar and adds a clear plastic “lid” over the end. Numerous vent holes throughout the cone allows the excess gas to vent. Oxygen is provided to the Oxy Hood via a nasal cannula attached to the hood. The oxygen source uses a bubble humidifier to prevent drying of the respiratory tract.
