Operating table for small animalsThe design for this operating table is maximized to allow optimal head positioning and gas anesthesia during ophthalmic surgary or imaging procedures. The NeedSmall animals may require surgery or imaging for research purposes. A major barrier to ocular surgery in many species, especially birds, is that the conventional operating surfaces do not provide adequate support for the position of the head and delivery of gas anesthetic. The TechnologyThe small animal laboratory ophthalmic operating table (SALOOT) consists of an easily disinfected plastic bed in a shape that accommodates small animals that are in the early stages of life. The body of the small animal fits into a depression molded into the bed while the head is well-positioned by an elevated support area at the edge of the bed that leads to an adjustable nosecone to deliver gas anesthesia.
