Overview
The Mouse and Rat Tracheal Cannulas page gives small-animal labs a tracheal cannula and endotracheal tube selection surface for ventilator-assisted anesthesia and airway-support planning. The family covers neonatal mouse, adult mouse, rat, oral-implantation, veterinary cannula, and cannula-bracket configurations so the lab can match outer diameter, animal size, and ventilator station needs before ordering.
The mouse and rat cannula options are designed for workflows where air, fresh oxygen, or anesthetic gas from a ventilator is delivered through an oral or tracheal access path. Small-animal configurations include 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm neonatal mouse cannulas, 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm mouse options for 10-25 g and 25-40 g animals, and 1.8 mm rat options for 100-300 g workflows. Oral-implantation options add 1.2 mm mouse and 1.8 mm rat planning paths.
The larger veterinary cannula path supports broader respiratory-circuit planning, with balloon and non-balloon cannula options across 2.0-10.0 mm and a 21-seat bracket for organizing 2.0-14.0 mm cannulas. For buyer decisions, the important question is not only tube size; it is how the cannula choice fits the ventilator, anesthesia machine, breathing circuit, gas source, monitoring, and surgical workflow.
Scientific Use
Tracheal cannulas and endotracheal tubes support ventilator-assisted anesthesia, respiratory physiology, thoracic or cardiac model preparation, intubation training, oral delivery workflows, and procedures where mask maintenance is not the preferred airway strategy. Pair the selected cannula size with a ventilator or anesthesia ventilator system, breathing circuit, gas source, warming, monitoring, and the procedure-specific surgical setup.
Buying Fit
Use this page when the lab needs airway-interface consumables or bracket organization around a ventilator-assisted station. Use cone masks, stereotaxic nose cone masks, or concentric tubing masks for non-intubated inhalation maintenance. Use ConductScience scientist review when the purchase depends on animal size, route, ventilator model, breathing circuit, or procedure-specific training needs.
How It Works
Endotracheal intubation establishes a direct conduit between the external environment and the trachea, bypassing upper airway structures that contribute to anatomical dead space. The beveled distal end facilitates insertion through the vocal cords, while the preformed curve aligns with natural airway anatomy for optimal positioning. The Murphy eye provides an alternate gas flow path if the primary bevel becomes occluded against the tracheal wall.
Cuffed tubes utilize an inflatable balloon mechanism that expands against the tracheal wall when inflated with air or saline solution through a pilot balloon system. This creates a pneumatic seal preventing gas leakage around the tube and protecting against aspiration. The cuff can be inflated using 2-5ml syringes, with silicone tubes requiring saline solution for optimal performance. Uncuffed tubes rely on size-matching to the tracheal diameter for positioning without active sealing.
Material selection affects tube characteristics: PVC, polyethylene, and polyurethane offer transparency for visual confirmation of proper placement through condensation patterns, while silicone provides enhanced flexibility and kink resistance. Armored tubes incorporate wire coil reinforcement for procedures requiring extreme head and neck positioning while maintaining airway patency.

| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material Options | Five material choices: PVC, polyethylene, polyurethane, silicone rubber, and red rubber | Limited to 2-3 material options in most product lines | Allows researchers to select optimal material for specific experimental requirements and biocompatibility needs |
| Size Range Coverage | 17 size configurations from 2.0mm to 10.0mm internal diameter | Standard lines often offer 8-12 size options | Provides precise sizing for optimal fit across diverse species and individual subject variation |
| Cuff Configuration Options | Both low-volume high-pressure and high-volume low-pressure cuff types available | Usually limited to single cuff design per product line | Enables selection based on ventilation requirements and tracheal pressure considerations |
| Species Compatibility | Specifically sized for cats, dogs, and sheep with appropriate size ranges | Generic sizing without species-specific optimization | Ensures proper fit and safety for common research animal models |
| Design Features | Beveled distal end, Murphy eye, and preformed curve standard on all tubes | Basic designs may lack Murphy eye or optimal curve geometry | Reduces intubation difficulty and provides backup ventilation path for enhanced safety |
| Reinforcement Options | Wire coil armored tubes available for kink resistance | Standard flexibility without reinforcement options | Maintains airway patency during head and neck manipulation procedures |
This endotracheal tube line offers comprehensive material selection, extensive size range, and multiple cuff configurations to support diverse research applications. The combination of standard safety features, species-specific sizing, and reinforcement options provides researchers with tools for both routine and specialized airway management protocols.

Practical Tips
Choose the cannula by species, body-weight range, route, and outer diameter before finalizing the ventilator setup.
Why: The configuration family separates neonatal mouse, adult mouse, rat, oral-implantation, and veterinary cannula sizes.
Confirm the ventilator, anesthesia gas source, breathing circuit, and monitoring path alongside the cannula order.
Why: The cannula is the airway interface; performance depends on the surrounding gas-delivery and respiratory-support station.
Use the bracket option when the lab keeps several cannula sizes available for different cohorts.
Why: The source bracket is designed with 21 seats for organizing 2.0-14.0 mm cannulas.

What equipment should be planned with these cannulas?
Plan the ventilator or anesthesia ventilator system, anesthesia machine, breathing circuit, oxygen or air source, monitoring, warming, and procedure-specific surgical setup around the selected cannula.
When is the bracket useful?
The bracket is useful when the lab keeps multiple cannula sizes at one airway-support station and wants an organized 21-seat holder path.
How is this different from anesthesia masks?
Cannulas and endotracheal tubes support intubated or tracheal access workflows. Cone masks, stereotaxic masks, and tubing masks support non-intubated inhalation maintenance.
