Nitrouseal Sedation Systems
Our practice is the first in Texas to offer in-office administered sedation analgesia using nitrous oxide with the Nitrouseal system.
Northwoods Urology is proud to use Nitrouseal Sedation Systems, a nitrous oxide sedation method. Nitrous Oxide is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, breathable gas used as a safe and effective minimal sedative in medicine and dentistry.
Nitrous oxide, or N2O, causes a sense of euphoria and relaxation. First used in 1772 to relieve a toothache, it is fast-acting and helps millions feel more comfortable and experience less pain during medical procedures.
Nitrouseal® is a medical device that was invented by a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist specifically for administering nitrous sedation in any medical setting without exposing medical personnel to the exhaled nitrous. This is accomplished by utilizing a patented disposable face-mask and breathing circuit (tubing) to administer the inhaled nitrous/oxygen mixture and to then capture and eliminate the exhaled nitrous. The Nitrouseal® System has become the accepted standard for delivering nitrous sedation to kids in most pediatric hospitals nationwide.
