Summary:A wick arrangement for an anesthetic evaporator includes a wick with a carrier material ( 2 ) that is essentially impermeable to gas provided with wick material ( 3, 4 ) on both sides. A great path length is provided for saturating the gas with anesthetic vapor in the smallest possible installation volume by providing flow channels such as helical flow channels ( 10, 11 ) extending helically on both sides of the wick. The gas flow is led in counterflow in the flow channels ( 10, 11 ) by a housing ( 9 ).
