We are pleased to offer this proven relief option for our patients for a fee*. Ask how Pro-Nox™ can be combined with your upcoming procedure!
The Pro-Nox™ Nitrous Oxide Delivery System empowers you to safely control your pain relief during in-office procedures. The fixed mixture of 50% Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and 50% Oxygen (O2) uses a specially designed on-demand valve that only delivers the medical gases when you inhale. You manage when to use it and for how long while still being able to recognize and respond on your own terms. This diminished sensation to pain without loss of consciousness is also known as an analgesia.
How does Pro-Nox™ work?
The equipment is calibrated to ensure a perfect 50/50 blend delivered with each breath. Inhale while holding your own mouthpiece or mask. Keep the mouthpiece or mask up to your face, or nearby, as directed by your provider. Breathing in and out will help relieve pain and anxiety.
Is Nitrous Oxide Safe?
The 50/50 mix of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen has been used around the world for decades. Studies have shown that it is non-addictive and even decreases the need for other pain medication, like pills. This pain management alternative has been used in a variety of facilities including aesthetics, labor and delivery, orthopedics, plastic surgery, urology, dermatology, hospitals and surgery centers for many years.
Does Pro-Nox™ have side effects?
Some patients report nausea, but taking a few deep breaths without the mouthpiece or mask to yourmouth should eliminate this feeling. Speak to your provider about any contraindications before using.
Do I breathe from the Pro-Nox™ during the entire procedure?
No, breathe from the system as you need it for relief or as directed by your provider.
Are there any special preparations to use the Pro-Nox™?
No, there is nothing you need to do prior to, or in preparation of, using the system.
Can I drive myself home after the procedure?
Yes, unless directed otherwise by your provider.
