Secure, Comfortable Positioning for Veterinary Surgery, Imaging & Rehabilitation
The VM1 Vacuum Positioning Mat provides reliable, customised support for animals during veterinary procedures. Designed to mould around the patient's body, the mat creates a stable positioning surface, helping to minimise movement and improve access during surgery, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation.
Manufactured from durable, easy-to-clean polyurethane, the VM1 is designed for repeated use in busy veterinary environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Secure Patient Positioning – Moulds to the animal's body to provide tailored support and stability.
-
Versatile Applications – Ideal for veterinary surgery, ultrasound, digital radiography (DR), CT, MRI and rehabilitation.
-
Quick & Easy Setup – Vacuum system activates in approximately 10 seconds for efficient patient positioning.
-
Long-Lasting Vacuum – High-quality safety valve maintains vacuum for over 72 hours under specified conditions.
-
Radiolucent Material – Designed to allow diagnostic imaging without unnecessary repositioning.
-
Durable & Hygienic – Polyurethane exterior is easy to wipe clean and maintain.
-
Heat Resistant – Provides thermal insulation and heat resistance during veterinary procedures.
Applications
Veterinary Surgery
Provides stable positioning and support during routine and specialist surgical procedures, including ophthalmic and orthopaedic surgery.
Diagnostic Imaging
Suitable for ultrasound, DR, CT and MRI examinations, helping maintain consistent patient positioning throughout imaging procedures.
Rehabilitation & Recovery
Offers supportive positioning for animals recovering from injury or surgery, including patients with reduced mobility or limb dysfunction.
How It Works
The VM1 contains internal particles that can be shaped around the animal's body. Using a compatible vacuum pump, air is removed from the mat, allowing it to become firm and retain the desired position.
The mat can be adjusted throughout the positioning process to achieve an optimal fit. Once the procedure is complete, simply release the vacuum to return the mat to its flexible state.
