The MLW rebreather Model R17108 is the last version of closed-circuit SCBA (Self-contained Breathing Apparatus) in the former East Germany. The construction based on the HEERESATMER, used in WW-II  The HEERESATMER was developed by DRÄGER Lübeck, Germany. After the WW-II, East Germany starts the own production at MLW (Medizinsche-Werke-Leipzig). The first models had an aluminum shell, then they changed to fiber glas. Also this model  works with an single use scrubber. Unfortunately, this single-use part is missing .
