When animals are breathing in GA gasses via a face mask, gasses may leak out and cause harm to the staff. Place the mask on the animals face + attach it to the circuit. Tie some WOW bandage around the base of the mask, push the knot around so that it is in line with the animals chin. Then tie the WOW bandage up and around the animals head, securing the knot underneath the ears.

When moving the animal (to theatre etc..) the mask stay's on the face, just disconnect the circuit and transport them through. This makes the anaesthetic so much smoother, easier, quicker!!
