At the heart of every veterinary practice is the commitment to provide exceptional care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Recognizing the unique challenges that come with safely positioning animals during diagnostic procedures, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs. Designed with the needs of veterinarians in mind, these V-Troughs are not only versatile and easy to use, but they also come in five convenient sizes to accommodate a wide range of animals.

Why Choose Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs?

1. Superior Animal Positioning Animal positioning during procedures, particularly X-rays, is crucial for obtaining accurate diagnostic results. Our V-Troughs are designed to securely cradle animals in a stable position, minimizing the need for manual restraint. This leads to clearer images and a more comfortable experience for both the animal and the veterinary team.

2. Available in 5 Convenient Sizes No two animals are the same, which is why we’ve made our V-Troughs available in five different sizes. Whether you’re working with a small hamster or a large dog, you’ll find a V-Trough that perfectly fits your needs. The five sizes ensure that every animal is supported securely, reducing the risk of movement and enhancing the quality of your diagnostic images.

3. Durable and Easy to Clean Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, our V-Troughs are built to withstand the rigors of daily use in a busy veterinary practice. They are also designed for easy cleaning, helping you maintain a hygienic environment and meet the highest standards of cleanliness.

4. Comfort and Safety First The well-being of your patients is always a priority. Our V-Troughs feature a soft surface that provides comfort while ensuring the animal stays securely in place. This not only makes procedures less stressful for the animal but also enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of accidental movement with 4 invluded velcco straps to secure limbs.

5. Versatile Applications Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs aren’t just for X-rays. They can be used for a variety of procedures where stable positioning is required, including ultrasound and other imaging techniques. Their versatility makes them an essential tool in any veterinary practice.

A Closer Look at the 5 Sizes

To ensure that you have the right tool for every patient, we’ve introduced our V-Troughs in the following sizes:

1. Small (S): Ideal for cats, small dogs, and other small animals, this size provides gentle support for your tiniest patients.

2. Medium (M): Perfect for medium-sized dogs and similar animals, offering secure positioning for a wide range of procedures.

3. Large (L): Designed for larger dogs, this size provides the necessary support for more robust animals, ensuring they remain steady during diagnostics.

4. Extra Large (XL): For your largest patients, this size offers ample space and support, accommodating even the biggest breeds with ease.

5. Kit of 4: Understanding that some animals may require special considerations, we offer the option to get all 4 V-Troughs, ensuring the animals in your care are properly supported.

Why Our V-Troughs Stand Out

Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs are more than just another positioning tool; they’re a solution that enhances your ability to deliver the best care possible. By offering five convenient sizes, we ensure that you can provide optimal support for every animal, leading to better outcomes and a more efficient workflow in your practice.

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month

As a radiology professional, protecting the thyroid gland from scatter and direct radiation is crucial. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the throat that uses iodine to produce hormones regulating heart rate, body temperature, metabolism, and calcium levels in the blood. Given the risk factors for thyroid cancer, including radiation exposure and family history, it’s important to minimize these risks using thyroid collars.

Thyroid shields are highly effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer from radiation exposure during procedures. They can decrease the effective dose by 2.5 times and cut total exposure by nearly 50%. To ensure adequate protection, these shields should have at least 0.5-mm lead equivalent thickness for neck and thyroid protection.

However, some healthcare professionals wear thyroid shields loosely or not at all. Wearing the shield snugly is essential for optimal protection. Regular inspections for damage are also important, much like those conducted for aprons.

Although the exact risk of scattered radiation to the thyroid is still unknown, protecting this gland is vital due to its susceptibility to scatter radiation when a shield is not worn. For more detailed information, refer to the American Thyroid Association's Policy Statement on Thyroid Shielding During Diagnostic Medical and Dental Radiology.

Z&Z Medical offers a variety of thyroid collar styles designed for maximum protection and comfort in the field of radiology, including a magnetic thyroid collar that prevent hair tangling.
