Understanding the key benefits of a Burtons Anaesthesia Machine

Made by Burtons in the UK

All our anaesthesia machines are designed and built by Burtons in the UK at our principal manufacturing facility in Staplehurst, Kent. This enables us to adapt machines based on specific requirements and improve them based on real feedback. Using the latest CNCs and laser manufacturing processes and high-quality stainless-steel materials, this product has been engineered from the ground up to last!

This allows us to reduce our carbon footprint with incredibly low product mileage, made with fully recyclable materials, which contribute to a circular economy.

Free Commissioning

We offer free commissioning on all Burtons anaesthesia machines. A Burtons engineer will be in touch promptly after your order has been processed to schedule a time and date for them to visit your practice that is convenient for you. Your vaporiser will be fitted, your machine will be calibrated and tested, and your concentrator will be fitted if needed. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have about machine usage. It is important to note that we do not attach machine brackets to walls or perform any construction work.

Emergency O2 flush with dual one-way valve system and pressure relief

An integral safety mechanism on all Burtons Anaesthesia Machines. Designed to deliver oxygen rapidly in emergencies, whilst protecting the patient from potential harm. Here’s how it works to keep your patient and your equipment protected.
The emergency O2 flush delivers a high flow of 100% oxygen directly to the breathing system in the case of an emergency, bypassing the vaporiser.
Our dual one-way valve system prevents backflow into the vaporiser during IPPV, crucially preventing unintentional delivery of a bolus of anaesthetic agent. It also ensures that expired gases or pressure surges don’t enter other components.
The pressure relief mechanism prevents system damage should the common gas outlet or any of the attached tubing become blocked.

Used with all Burtons circuits

All of our anaesthesia machines are compatible with all Burtons anaesthesia circuits.

User-focused designs

Open and Accessible Frame - Ensures easy access to all critical components and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
Wide Back-Bar Layout - Strategically spaced to allow tidy tubing and unobstructed use of the rebreathing bag.
180° Visibility - Critical controls, vaporisers, and circuits are positioned high on the frame, as is the flowmeter that is designed to have a viewing angle of 180° for optimal visibility.

Concentrator-ready with Concentrator Changeover Valve

Our concentrator-ready machines vary depending on whether they are concentrator-ready as standard or as an extra. Some Burtons machines that come concentrator-ready will have the facility to hold the concentrator, keeping it within the same footprint as the machine and making it easier to move around. This is a key feature of our Adaptable machines.

All concentrator-ready machines come with a rapid gas supply switchover. This means that to switch between gas supplies (cylinder and concentrator) you simply flip a switch on the back of your anaesthesia machine. In the event of power or concentrator failure, you do not have to spend time plugging in cylinders. You can switch over instantly.

Built-in value with high-quality materials

Choose between our machines that are made completely from high-grade stainless steel or WCB (Waterproof construction board). Some of our more budget-friendly machines will have elements of our high-grade stainless steel mixed with other materials.

Full 1-Year Warranty on core components
Supported by Burtons equipment experts and nationwide servicing network across the UK and Ireland
Sustainability in Practice - Designed and manufactured in the UK with future-proof adaptability. Most machines can be upgraded and updated as your practice grows

Stainless steel

Corrosion resistant

With high levels of chromium and nickel, 304 stainless steel forms a passive protective layer, making it exceptionally resistant to corrosion, even in harsh environments or when exposed to chemicals and disinfectants.

Non-porous & easy to clean

Its smooth, non-porous surface allows for quick and hygienic cleaning, essential in medical and veterinary settings.

Durable & long-lasting

304 stainless steel is strong, durable, and built to withstand the demands of daily practice.

Biocompatible & non-magnetic

Known as an austenitic stainless steel, it is non-magnetic, weldable, and biocompatible.

Recyclable

100% recyclable with a polished, sleek finish.

WCB – Waterproof Construction Board

For those seeking a lighter alternative, we also manufacture machines with a solid uPVC frame, a WCB (Waterproof Construction Board) material that is:

Liquid impervious

100% Waterproof material with no water ingress, swelling, or rotting.

Bacteria-resistant

Antibacterial protection against 99.99% of harmful bacteria.

Tough and hygienic

Durable and easy-to-clean surface that is chemical-resistant.

Recyclable

100% recyclable.

Low-flow anaesthesia, made simple

Precision flow control

Equipped with a high-accuracy logarithmic flowmeter for precise delivery, ideal for monitoring and reducing FGF.

Easy transition

Whether you're new to low-flow anaesthesia or upgrading your existing setup, Burtons anaesthesia machines, along with guidance from our equipment experts, make the transition as simple as possible.

Clear Visual Feedback - Unique flowmeter design with a visible bobbin (resembling a rocket) that spins when flow is active, offering clear and immediate feedback. Outperforms traditional “spinning ball” systems, providing consistent results every time.
