Nitrous Oxide Products
Nitrous Oxide Products CATEGORY DESCRIPTION
Used in dentistry for more than 150 years, nitrous oxide (N2O) remains a common adjunct to local anesthetics, producing analgesic and anxiolytic effects with a rapid onset of action and quick recovery, and excellent efficacy and safety profiles. N2O is administered as a 25%-50% mixture with oxygen, with equipment typically including an N2O and O2 delivery system, a gas mixing bag, and a nasal mask (reusable or disposable) or nasal canula with a positive pressure relief valve
Every N2O system should be equipped with a scavenging system to pick up excess gases. A flow meter or equivalent measuring device should be readily visible, and the vacuum pump should have a capacity of up to 45 liters of air/minute/workstation. Masks should come in various sizes to ensure proper fit.
Older flow tube flowmeter technology is now being replaced by digital electronic flow control devices with resolution of gas flow in increments of 0.1 liter/minute, and the total flow and percentage of oxygen displayed digitally. This eliminates the guesswork or calculations required with simple flow tube devices.
