Small animal general practice
Rebreathing machines cover routine small animal surgery and dental work. The Moduflex Elite rolls on large casters between rooms, the Moduflex Optimax offers a standard or coaxial absorber, and the Mindray Veta 3 Compact can be upgraded to a Veta 5 when the practice adds ventilation.
Specialty and referral hospitals that need ventilation
The Mindray Veta 5 builds a turbine ventilator into the machine, so no drive gas is needed, and sets tidal volumes from 5 mL. The WATO EX-35 pairs ventilation with a V60 vaporizer. The Veta 5Plus adds VS+ ventilation guided by EtCO2, and the WATO EX-65 Pro Vet and WATO A7 pair electronic flowmeters with 15-inch and 18.5-inch touchscreens. The ADSII and Refurbished Drager and GE workstations bring human-grade ventilators to the OR.
Equine and large animal
The Infinium Equine Anesthesia Machine is a cart with a Drager AVE ventilator, tidal volumes from 1 to 15 L, and an optional foal absorber. The Landmark VSA-2100 is not intended for large animal anesthesia, and the Veta 5 is rated for patients under 200 lb.
Laboratory and rodent work
The Moduflex NRB and its wall-mount twin are non-rebreathing machines for rodents and very small animals. The Moduflex Labvet is a 7 lb tabletop unit that fits inside most laboratory ventilation hoods.
Mobile, portable, and field practice
Machines that travel between rooms or sites, such as the Moduflex Compact Field Service in its wheeled hard case and the Mindray Veta 3X, are also grouped under portable veterinary anesthesia machines.
MRI suites
The Moduflex Optimax has an MRI Conditional model for fields of 1 Tesla or lower at the machine, the Labvet and Coaxial have MRI Conditional builds, and the Landmark VSA-2100 has an MRI-compatible configuration.
Gas supply and scavenging
Oxygen reaches an anesthesia machine from cylinders, an oxygen concentrator, or a wall outlet on a central pipeline. The Moduflex Access2 is offered with a 5 LPM oxygen concentrator in its base and carries a dual cylinder holder. For rooms on a pipeline, our veterinary medical gas equipment covers the pipeline side: outlets, manifolds, zone valves, and alarm panels. On the exhaust side, waste anesthetic gas is removed by passive or active scavenging. The WATO EX-35 supports both, and our charcoal filters, scavenger interfaces, and evacuation tubing fit either setup.
Rebreathing vs Non-Rebreathing Machines
A rebreathing (circle) machine sends exhaled gas through a soda lime CO2 absorber and returns it to the patient with fresh gas added. A non-rebreathing machine, such as one running a Bain circuit, has no absorber and uses fresh gas flow to carry exhaled gas away. The NRB models and the Labvet are set up for non-rebreathing work, several rebreathing machines accept a Bain adaptor, and the Veta 3X switches between both with its ACGO control.
New vs Refurbished Drager and GE Workstations
The new veterinary anesthesia machines here come from Mindray, Dispomed Moduflex, and Landmark. The Refurbished Drager Fabius GS, Fabius Tiro, and GE Aespire are human-grade operating room workstations with integrated ventilators, and each is labeled Refurbished in its title.
Mounting: Floor, Wall, Tabletop, and Mobile
- Floor. Moduflex Elite, Optimax, Compact, Access 2, and NRB, plus the Landmark VSA-2100 pole stand.
- Wall. Wall-mount Optimax, wall-mount NRB and Access2, Veta 5, and Veta 3X. The Fabius Tiro also mounts on a wall or ceiling.
- Tabletop. Labvet, Moduflex Multiflex, and Veta 3X.
- Mobile. Compact Field Service in its wheeled hard case, and Veta 3X on its trolley.

Veterinary Anesthesia Machine FAQ
Which machines have a built-in ventilator?
The Veta 5, Veta 5Plus, WATO EX-35, WATO EX-65 Pro Vet, WATO A7, Aurora VS, Infinium Equine, ADSII, and the Refurbished WATO EX-20, Fabius GS, Fabius Tiro, and GE Aespire.
Which machines suit rodent and lab anesthesia?
The Moduflex NRB, the wall-mount NRB, and the Labvet, which is also offered with three patient circuits.
Do you carry MRI Conditional machines?
Yes: Optimax, Labvet, and Coaxial MRI Conditional versions, and an MRI-compatible VSA-2100 configuration.
Which machine is built for horses?
The Infinium Equine Anesthesia Machine, with a Drager AVE ventilator and an optional foal absorber.
Can a machine be mounted on the wall?
Yes. Wall versions of the Optimax, NRB, and Access2 are available, and the Multiflex, Veta 5, and Veta 3X also mount on a wall.
What gas supply does a veterinary anesthesia machine need?
Every machine needs oxygen, and some workstations also meter medical air or nitrous oxide. The WATO EX-20 meters oxygen and nitrous oxide, and the ADSII has flowmeters and pin index cylinder yokes for O2, N2O, and air. Where the room has a pipeline, a gas-specific color-coded hose assembly connects the DISS or quick-connect wall outlet to the machine.
What separates rebreathing from non-rebreathing?
A rebreathing machine returns exhaled gas to the patient through a CO2 absorber. A non-rebreathing machine has no absorber and relies on fresh gas flow, which is how the NRB models and the Labvet are set up.
