ENTONOX DEMAND VALVE
(Analgesic Demand Valve)
Entonox is a gas mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen, which is commonly used for pain relief during medical procedures. The Entonox Demand Valve is a device used to administer this gas mixture to patients.
The Entonox Demand Valve is designed to deliver the gas mixture to the patient only when they inhale, ensuring that they receive the correct dosage of gas mixture and reducing waste. The valve is activated when the patient inhales through a mouthpiece attached to the valve. The inhalation creates a vacuum that opens the valve, allowing the gas mixture to flow into the patient's lungs.
The Entonox Demand Valve is commonly used in emergency medical situations such as trauma, childbirth, or during transport of critically ill patients. It is also used during minor surgical procedures such as dental work or wound care. The valve is easy to use and can be operated by a trained healthcare professional or even by the patient themselves, making it an effective and versatile pain management tool.
