Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
In veterinary care, CO2 is used for insufflation: the process of delivering a drug to the lungs. It can also be used with oxygen as a respiratory stimulant and as a cooling agent in the form of dry ice. Today, CO2 laser therapy provides increased precision and results in reduced hemorrhage, swelling, pain, and tissue trauma in soft tissue surgery.
Common CO2 Sizes:
The most common gas tank sizes for Carbon Dioxide include: Carbon Dioxide E.
