Animal surgery positioning system ACD-015

Allows researchers to operate independently, eliminating the need for an assistant or improvised assistive devices Operating principles The fully integrated procedural and stabilization system provides precisely controlled retraction at the operative site. The CD+Labs System allows researchers to operate independently; eliminating the need for an assistant or improvised assistive devices. The system removes the complexities and distractions of improvised set-ups, allowing the researcher to focus full attention on the surgical procedure. Key features • Eliminates the need for an assistant • Reduces setup and procedure time • Provides superior control • Improves visualization Animal tables are made of ferro-magnetic steel and incorporate a window for compatibility with body temperature maintenance systems. Fixators hold retractors. They contain rare earth magnets that attach anywhere on the animal table. A push-button top operates multi-level locking jaws that grip wire or elastomers firmly. They can be adjusted linearly or rotationally with finger-tip release. Complete depression of the push-button allows for insertion of the wire or elastomer while partial depression of the push-button allows for adjustment. Fixators can also lock onto other lab components that require stabilization in the surgical setting, such as neurological or rectal probes or anesthesia delivery systems. The magnetic field is well controlled within the fixator to minimize interference with sensitive instrumentation. In fact, at a distance of just a few centimeters, the effects of these small but powerful magnets are completely masked by Earth’s ever present magnet field.
