The use of infusion pumps can help veterinarians provide safer and more effective infusion therapy for pets.

 

2. Oxygen Cylinders and Oxygen Absorption Devices

Oxygen can help pets breathe better and relieve symptoms such as respiratory distress. Oxygen cylinders and inhalers can provide a continuous supply of oxygen to pets, thus improving their respiratory status.

 

Application:

• Providing first aid, such as when a pet is experiencing respiratory distress, shock, etc.
• Providing long-term treatment, such as when a pet is suffering from respiratory disease.

The use of oxygen cylinders and oxygen absorbing devices can help pets to improve their breathing conditions and the effectiveness of treatment.

 

3. Nebuliser

Nebulisation treatments for pets help to dilute phlegm and relieve symptoms such as coughing.

Nebulisers atomise medication or saline into fine particles that are easier for pets to inhale. Nebulisation treatments can help clear phlegm from your pet’s airways and relieve symptoms such as coughing and wheezing.
The use of a nebuliser can help pets relieve respiratory symptoms and improve the effectiveness of treatment.

 

4. Pet Monitor

Pet monitors can show the activity of your pet’s heart, including heart rate, heart rhythm, and myocardial electrical activity. An ECG can help veterinarians diagnose and treat heart disease.

 

Application:

• For diagnosing heart diseases such as arrhythmia, myocarditis, and pericarditis;
• For monitoring the condition of cardiac patients;
• For anaesthesia procedures etc.

Application:

• For surgical procedures such as caesarean sections, removal of tumours, etc;
• For wound treatment, such as suturing wounds, debridement, etc;
• For dental procedures, such as tooth extraction, root canal treatment, etc.

The use of surgical instruments helps veterinarians perform safe and effective surgery and wound management.

All five types of equipment are commonly used medical equipment in pet clinics, and they can help veterinary technicians provide more professional and effective medical care for pets.

 

III. Surgical Equipment: Guaranteeing Surgical Safety

Pet surgery is the most common treatment in the pet medical field, and the operating table is also one of the essential equipment for pet hospitals.

 

1. Shadowless Lamp

Shadowless lamp is one of the essential equipment in the pet operating theatre, which can provide instantaneous light in the surgical area to ensure a clear surgical field of vision. The light of the shadowless lamp should be uniform to avoid blockage, affecting the surgical field of vision; sufficient brightness so that the surgical shadowless lamp should have an adjustable light-emitting range to adapt to the needs of different surgical parts.

 

 Advantages

• Ensure a clear view of the surgical field: Provide intermittent light in the surgical area to ensure that the surgical staff can clearly see the surgical site, thereby improving surgical precision and success.
• Reduce surgical time: Ensure a clear view of the surgical field and reduce the operating time of the surgical personnel, thus improving the efficiency of the surgery.
• Reducing surgical risk: It can reduce accidents during surgery and reduce surgical risk.

Shadowless lamp is an important choice to ensure the safety and success of surgery. When the shadowless lamp, it should be selected according to the size of the operating theatre and the needs of surgery.

5. Sterilization Equipment

Sterilisation of surgical instruments in veterinary clinics is an important part of ensuring the safety and success of surgery. Surgical instruments come into contact with animal blood, body fluids and tissues during use. If not thoroughly cleaned and sterilised, they may lead to cross-infections and endanger the health of animals and staff.
The traditional manual cleaning of this process poses two inherent risks: human error during the cleaning process, and the possibility that someone could cut themselves, thereby exposing themselves to the risk of infection while cleaning the instruments.

A more modern and safer method is the use of a steam autoclave, one of the most effective methods of sterilisation. Steam sterilizers provide veterinary practices with a reliable, effective and efficient cleaning process.
