Reptile Awareness Day is October 21st. Every year, reptile fanatics have a day that they can celebrate and share their passion; a chance to educate others who may not know about these amazing creatures called reptiles, and the habitat loss and threat of extinction that faces so many reptile species. Reptile Awareness Day, celebrated annually on this day, promotes learning about different types of reptiles, their natural habitats, and the ecological threats they face.

Reptiles are a class of vertebrates that are scaly and cold-blooded and that, with a few exceptions, lay eggs. They include turtles, terrapins, and tortoises; lizards, snakes, and legless worm lizards; the tuatara of New Zealand; and crocodiles, alligators, gavials, and caimans. There are 6,500-10,000 species of reptiles, which live on every continent except Antarctica.

The week of October 15-21, 2022 has been set aside as National Veterinary Technician Week (NVTW) to celebrate, recognize, and promote the valuable contributions credentialed veterinary technicians make to the veterinary profession and society.

Veterinary technicians are integral players on the veterinary healthcare team.  They are on the frontlines, compassionately working with clients whose beloved animals need care.  They work tirelessly in exam rooms, labs, and operating rooms, putting to work their vast technical and scientific knowledge treating and caring for every species of animal.  Their broad skills – both professional and personal – allow veterinarians to work more efficiently and effectively.  And they do it all with love and a smile, day after day.

Z&Z Medical is proud to support all the Vet Techs this week!  Take 10% off your online order of X-Ray Markers or any of the Radiation Protection items in the Vet Radiation Protection Tab on our website by using Promo Code VET10.  Valid through Oct 21st, 2022. 

We appreciate all you do!

"As an orthopedic surgeon and owner of a referral clinic, high quality radiograph images are essential. My 20/20 Imaging system from Z&Z Medical is the best I have ever used. The gang at Z & Z are absolutely great and they have been there to support my radiological needs for almost 20 years. I started with them back when I was still dipping films in a tank, and they have helped me on numerous occasions when I was in a bind and got me up and running again. When I have upgraded, they have always been super competitive when it came to price. But when you add their incredible customer service to the equation- there is no reason to look anywhere else for my imaging needs. "

*The mobile monitor unit (shown in photo) was not part of the 20/20 system but was purchased separately to meet Dr Bettin’s needs of moving from room to room. The Mobile Cart accommodates the workstation for uninterrupted power supply. The system remains plugged in and when you need to move to a separate room, in this case a surgery room, you simply unplug the power, and the UPS takes over as you move it to the surgery room and then plug the power back in with no interruption. It also utilizes the wireless access point that comes with the workstation to maintain network connectivity.  This approach is less expensive and has a simpler workflow than adding a laptop AND meets the customers’ immediate needs.

To learn more about the equipment and workflow options that we have available, email us at info@zzmedical.com or call 800-410-9575.

A bit of foot pampering is something we all enjoy…Turns out elephants are no different. And when you weigh several thousand kilos, foot issues can be a real problem if they go undetected.  X-raying the feet of elephants is no easy task. There is always the fear of breaking the X-ray receptor plate. Being able to image their feet is really important in order to maximize their welfare. While you may not be x-raying elephants every day, but if you do or are in need of a CR/DR Image Receptor with a very high weight capacity – we’ve got you covered. Z&Z Medical carries a Weight Bearing CR and DR Tunnel Panel Protector that will protect up to 2000 lbs!  The VetView Tunnel can be used in typical veterinary practices for large-sized animals as well as in zoos and aquatic settings. They are available in different sizes and configurations and will support up to 1000 lbs weight.
