Therapy Unit

Therapy Unit

Specifically, a Bennett Therapy Unit Model TV-2P, used for breathing assistance. Apparently one in decent shape is worth around $375 according to an online liquidator; I'm not sure if this equipment was salvaged or tossed into the dumpster.

If it was tossed, what a shame. I would have a hard time not tossing it in the trunk of my car!

Hello! What a happy little guy! Being asthmatic, he looks like he would really be my friend if I needed him to.

Oh, and here's one we prepared earlier: http://www.anesth.hama...ennett-tv2p-ippb.jpg

The first thing I thought was, "Panda." That's probably just me though. :)

It just looks strangely... alive.

Maybe it's just me.

I read a doctor story written in the late 50's or early 60's, they made reference to a bennett valve to help with breathing.

In thr late 60's and early 70's this item was the first respirators that we put on patients in the ER. It was mounted on an aluminum pole with wheels and was called a "bird" respirator. Since it was originally designed as anethesia device there were several paramiters that could not be refined. So it served as a temporary device until a full fledged respirator showed up. Interesting to see one again.
