Updated Products
Equine colic sheets with enterotomy pouch
The #3087, #3088, and #3089 colic drapes have a new impervious reinforcement on the top surface of the enterotomy pouch. The minimizes sticking if the bowel is placed on top of the drape rather than in the pouch. The instrument sorters have been removed and the suction hose holders have been replaced with the hook and loop type and moved to the head end of the drape to increase their utility. Please do not hesitate to
contact us if more information is required.

Table Covers
The #3205 table cover is now 44" X 78" (112 cm X 198 cm) overall and features a new 24" wide SMS lamination. This lamination has a greater moisture repellancy and tear resistance than the dexter it replaces. The number #3206 and #3207 table covers will be updated as stock is replenished. Please do not hesitate to
contact us if more information is required.
Updated Products
Large Animal Orthopedic Sheets
Our large animal orthopedic sheets now include two hook and loop tab style tubing and wire holders per fenestration. Holders are located on each side of the fenestration on the long axis of the drape about 30 inches (76 cm) from the fenestration center. These holders are large enought to accommodate several hoses or wires and may be applied to the mid portion of the wire or hose. Look for this updated feature on our large animal orthopedic sheets soon.
Updated Products
Colic gowns
Our colic gowns have been updated to a new fabric which offers exceptional breathability without sacrificing protection. These new gowns meet the AAMI Level 4 protection standard. They are generously sized and 4 inches (10 cm) longer than the standard size gown to ensure complete coverage. Vet. Surgical Resources' colic gowns will keep you cool and dry in even the most demanding surgeries. Please call for samples.
Pressure Infusers
The 3 and 5 liter pressure infusers have been updated to include a pressure gauge for easy monitoring. The infusers are also now constructed from a durable nylon to ensure long life.
Small animal orthopedic drape with integrated fluid pouch.
The construction of our #6086 drape has been updated to increase the utility of the fluid control pouch. The pouch is now clear and has a conformable fenestration in each face. At the time of surgery, the surgeon makes a small slit on both faces to pass the limb through the pouch. Pictured at right.
Modification to #3020 - 60" X 80" unfenestrated Impervex drape
As part of our on going product improvement efforts, Vet. Surgical Resources is replacing the #3020 with the #3020A drape. The #3020A drape is a modification to the fold of the #3020 and will replace it in the coming months. The new drape has identical barrier properties as it is made from the same fabric. The only change is a modification to the fold so that the impervious plastic layer is on the top of the drape, away from the patient, rather than towards the patient as in the previous configuration. In this configuration surgeons will experience virtually no linting from these drapes. Lint generated in the operating room increases the possibility of post operative complications due to microorganism transfer and the introduction of a foreign body. Customers should note that the product number will change to #3020A which designates the new fold. Please do not hesitate to
contact us if there are any questions concerning this modification.

Absorbent Drape material
In the spring of 2010 we introduced our first absorbent drapes with impervious coating. This non-woven material has a low weight to absorbency ratio. It is low linting and completely impervious. It is ideal for procedures where fluid control is critical. When combined with other fluid control options such as our arthroscopy fluid pouch it provides a novel means to handle fluid in the operating room. Please
contact us for details on this new draping.
