The Silhouette low profile nasal mask design
provides to the Medical Health Care market a mask
and breathing circuit solution that will allow high
visibility to the medical professional [especially
dentist], and provide an adhesive based seal onto
the patient’s face, allowing its built-in scavenging
system to effectively remove excess/exhaled nitrous
oxide [N2O], with minimal loss to the environment. It
allows the patient to receive the proper amount of
Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide with normal respiratory
effort.
The Nasal Mask is placed first (adhesive lamination
cover removed first) on to the patient's nose. The
Comfort Tubing is placed around the patient's ears.
The Reusable Section is attached to the Fresh Gas
and Vacuum Control Device connections. The Slide
Bolo is placed to secure the Circuit at the patient's
neck, completing a multi-point secure placement on
the patient’s face. A Fresh Gas Mixture of nitrous
oxide and oxygen is delivered from the Flowmeter
into the Circuit and into patient's nasal cavity via
the Mask; exhalation is scavenged through to the
Vacuum Control Device. Disposable Section is
disposed after use.
The sight lines from the medical professional to the
patient’s mouth (work area) created by the low
profile are superior.
The medical professional can easily manipulate the
patient’s mouth without interference to the fit of the
Circuit, while the patient can turn the head side to
side in comfort, without losing the seal.
Use Silhouette with or without a Bag Tee (see
photos of Reusable vacuum and fresh gas
attachments to Porter and Matrx flowmeters).

The Silhouette Circuit may be used with or without a
Bag Tee. When used with a Bag Tee (including those
of most brands of flowmeters) the 3-Liter Breathing
Bag should be capped off using the Cap
(62905510W) found in kit SIL-CONN-KIT. The fresh
gas Adapter (PA-1629-000) in the kit provides a
22mm adapter to 5-7 mm taper for the Reusable
paratubing hose (B-5581-000).
Note: Primarily, the 4 holes featured in every
Silhouette Mask provides air intake. Alternatively,
patient inhalation through Silhouette Circuit (with
Total Flow delivery of approximately 5 L/min or
lower) will open the Emergency Air Intake EAI valve
on a Bag Tee for supplemental air intake.
Do not block the 4 holes during a procedure.
