Abstract
A veterinary procedure table includes a vertically extending frame and an animal support assembly upon which an animal may be placed during the performance of a veterinary procedure. An equipment support is secured to the animal support assembly or the vertically extending frame. The equipment support adjustably supports a device or surgical tool used during veterinary procedures performed on an animal placed on the animal support assembly. In one embodiment, a video display is associated with the vertically extending frame for viewing of a particular region on the animal.
Claims9
A veterinary procedure table, comprising:
- a vertically extending frame;
- an animal support assembly having first and second spaced apart ends defining a lengthwise dimension, and having first and second spaced apart sides defining a widthwise dimension, said lengthwise dimension being greater than said widthwise dimension, said animal support assembly slidably coupled to said vertically extending frame only at said first end such that said animal support assembly is cantilevered from said vertically extending frame, with said second end extending outwardly from said vertically extending frame, and such that said animal support assembly is movable to a plurality of elevations relative to said vertically extending frame;
- and
- an equipment support movably coupled to said vertically extending frame or said animal support assembly, wherein said equipment support includes a proximal end secured to said animal support assembly or said vertically extending frame, and a distal end adapted to adjustably support a device or surgical tool used during veterinary procedures performed on an animal placed on said animal support assembly.
