Overview

The SurgiSuite multi-functional surgical platform has an easy-to-clean, chemical resistant base which includes a channel for collecting fluids during surgical operations. Integrated far infrared warming is designed into the platform.

The SurgiSuite is available in two sizes, mouse and rat. The rat-sized SurgiSuite provides you with a larger surface area and warming pad.

Optional lighting and magnification kits come with a standard US 110V plug adapter that may not be compatible outside of the US.

What you get on day one

Comply with regulatory guidelines

SurgiSuite offers a wide range of restraint options, including a disposable surface and the ability to use tape, magnetic posts and elastic bands for tie downs

Plastic cover

The surgical field is protected by a plastic cover

Multi-positional stabilizers

The included multi-positional stabilizers can be used to stabilize the animal or anesthesia tubing connected to your nose cone or tracheal tube inspiratory and expiratory lines

Ferro-magnetic stainless steel plate

The surgical area is surrounded by a ferro-magnetic stainless steel plate

Quick access blowl

The procedure bowl included with each platform can be used for quick access to gauze, cotton-tip applicators or to hold fluids; multiple bowls can be accommodated

Base system includes

• Easy to clean, chemical-resistant surface
• Stainless steel surgical surface and magnetic base
• 2 magnetic anesthesia mask/intubation tubing stabilizers (1 small and 1 large)
• Magnetic positioners (4-pack with elastic wires)
• Elastomer wire positioner (1 meter)
• Detachable procedure bowl
• Disposable platform covers (3)

Optional add-ons

• Easily connect a mouse or rat intubation kit with your SurgiSuite.
• Optional far infrared warming pad and controller lets you easily set and identify target temperature.
• Our optional LED lighting and magnification kit includes 3 flexible LED lights, a clip-on magnifier and a USB power strip. Lighting plugs directly into the USB power strip (the USB strip must be connected to a power outlet). You can plug in up to 7 USB devices, each with its own on/off switch.
• Optional retractor wires and retractor tips provide maximum control with minimum clutter. Retractor wires lock into fixators to allow both linear and rotational adjustment over the entire length of the wire. Tips can be locked onto a wire for static retraction, or affixed to an elastic wire to form a dynamic retractor.
• If you would like to monitor and regulate the animal temperature, the PhysioSuite^® with RightTemp^® temperature monitoring and homeothermic control is available and easily connects to the warming pad.

FAQ

What is the SurgiSuite multi-function surgical platform used for?

The SurgiSuite is a multi-functional small animal surgical platform with an easy-to-clean chemical-resistant base, fluid collection channel, and integrated far infrared warming. It provides a stable, controlled environment for rodent surgical procedures.

Which animal species is the SurgiSuite compatible with?

The SurgiSuite is designed for use with mice and rats, the most common models in preclinical surgical research. Its platform dimensions and integrated accessories are optimized for safe operation across typical rodent sizes.

How does the SurgiSuite improve experimental outcomes?

By integrating warming, fluid management, and a stable work surface into one platform, the SurgiSuite reduces physiological variability during procedures, which is critical in cardiovascular, neurological, and surgical studies requiring stable conditions.

Does the SurgiSuite require specialized training to operate?

The SurgiSuite is designed for straightforward use by animal facility technicians and researchers. Its integrated features and intuitive layout minimize setup time and allow researchers to focus on the procedure rather than equipment management.
