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.

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.

Compliance
Which mouse and rat sizes are available?
The family includes neonatal mouse options at 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm OD, mouse options at 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm OD, and rat options at 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm OD depending on body-weight range and route.
Are oral-implantation cannulas part of this family?
Yes. Oral-implantation options are available for 15-35 g mice at 1.2 mm OD and 150-300 g rats at 1.8 mm OD.
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.
