MINIVAP — Inhalation anesthesia, rebuilt
Anesthesia that goes wherever the patient does.
A low-resistance vaporizer with plenum-grade dosing accuracy and draw-over simplicity. No electricity. No compressed-gas dependency. One calibrated device for patients of every size.

Why MINIVAP
The accuracy of a hospital vaporizer. The simplicity of a field kit.
Conventional plenum vaporizers need a pressurized, calibrated fresh-gas supply to dose correctly. MINIVAP’s low-resistance design keeps plenum-level accuracy while running on nothing more than the patient’s own breath, or a portable gas source.
One device, every patient
The same low internal resistance that makes dosing gentle for the smallest patients scales cleanly to the largest, without changing devices.
Built for four agents
Calibrated filling blocks for sevoflurane, isoflurane, halothane, and enflurane — swap agents without swapping devices.
Proven in the field
Used in pediatric anesthesiology and built into portable kits for district hospitals, ambulances, and military field conditions.
No electricity. No compressed gas.
Runs in open (draw-over), semi-open, and semi-closed breathing circuits — on atmospheric air or a compressed source, whichever is available in the room.
Plenum accuracy, draw-over simplicity
Stable, dependable dosing across 0.2–15 L/min, largely independent of fresh-gas flow, ambient temperature, and pressure.
Under 400 g
Titanium and stainless-steel builds as light as 300 g — small enough to carry in a field kit, not just mount on a backbar.
