The inpatient ward of veterinary clinics and centers is structured to accommodate animals in need of specific care. Since these are hospitalizations usually longer than 24 hours, it is necessary to provide them with a safe and comfortable place to stay, including specialized staff and suitable tools.
Among those certainly most widely used are metal cages of various sizes, designed to facilitate the housing of dogs, cats and rodents and their complete recovery in a short time. There are different models, designed to meet the needs of patients and make their stay more pleasant.
At Lory Veterinary Projects, we care about the health of our four-legged friends, which is why we choose only certified materials with which we produce reliable and user-friendly products. Snap closures, liquid containers and divider panels are just some of the special features of our creations.
Below we describe the features of the three main lines, so as to make the purchase choice easier for those who want to know the strengths of each.
Modular cages for comfortable hospitalization
Modular cages allow for customized solutions by using, as the name implies, standard modules. Each space will thus be comfortable and designed to meet the needs of all animals.
Their advantage is that they allow you to create compositions of various sizes. In this way it is possible to accommodate up to two cat or small dog pens, or to take advantage of the entire area by simply removing the special divider, in the case of small to medium dogs.
All cages are made of stainless steel to ensure high performance and strength. Snap fasteners are applied to ensure greater safety. On the other hand, theergonomic grooved opening allows for easy use even if the operator has busy hands.
This type proves to be the most versatile to custom equip all the accessories available in the catalog.
Comfortable and safe confinement in IDGM and SDEGA cages
These are modular compositions designed to connect medical gas distribution(IDGM) and anesthetic gas scavenging(SDEGA) systems. They, too, are custom-made and arranged for the insertion of sockets and instruments useful for inpatient care, such as oxygen and wires to which health parameter monitors can be attached.
There are three main advantages for which to prefer this type of cage. First among them is safety, as it decreases the risks associated with the presence of power sources in the various wards and outpatient clinics. The second strong point is convenience; in fact, they can be placed next to the various modules thanks to their quick and easy engagement. Finally, they turn out to be very convenient because centralization makes it possible to optimize the installation and maintenance costs of the components.
Because of their high versatility and small size, they also lend themselves to being placed on top of furniture, so as to save space and have more free and practical places. Alternatively, they can occupy entire walls or just some sides of the room. With us you can find cages with and without gas up to eight places.
PVC cages for the confinement of small and medium-sized animals
This type of solution is ideal for providing cats, rodents, and small and medium-sized dogs with a safe and secure place to spend time. The removable divider made of the highest quality non-toxic PVC allows the lower part to be used as the only shelter and provide safe accommodation for the patient.
At Lory Veterinary Projects, we make different types of cages, designed to secure up to twelve inpatient spaces. They can be placed either on top of clinic furniture or on the floor thanks to self-braking and conductive wheels for electromagnetic static.
PVC is a material that is very comfortable to the touch, which is why it is suitable for housing pets that need special treatments, to be administered with the bubbler for oxygen therapy and monitored through the temperature gauge. Inside them, it is also possible to insert, in the lower edge, a container for liquids designed to prevent the spillage of excrement and facilitate cleaning.
Functional accessories for stay in comfortable cages
Inpatient cages are often seen as less than hospitable, so over the years materials and technologies have been developed to make them increasingly pleasant. Accessories, for example, perform functions aimed at monitoring the patient’s health status and improving the patient’s experience of their stay.
Among the various products that can be included are definitely bowls for drinking and eating, heating tubes for a warmer and cozier place, and lightweight and breathable polyester mats that allow fluids such as serums or urine to drain.
Essential tools to facilitate animal care can be many, such as the drug holder that can be attached outside the bars,oxygen therapy holder, IV holder, and flowmeter specifically for SDEGA models.
Accessories can also be included with which to make the time spent in the clinic more fun. Small perches are available for feline friends to climb on, as well as walkways to help them move from an enclosed space to an adjacent one.
