I-131 CAT CAPSULA
2 in 1 Self Shielded Radiation Protection for 1-131 + Hyperbaric Treatment
The original Cat Capsule (Cat Cage) designed by Globalsonics in early 2000 has been successfully used in veterinary clinics across Australia.
The unique design of the 1-131 Capsule permits the unit to be utilised as a Hyperbaric chamber without the need for purchasing a dedicated unit to perform this type of treatment. Furthermore, the 1-131 Capsule is critical to assist staff to give the highest levels of attention and care to the feline patient.
Our approach is clean and simple, minimising the possible problems presented to veterinary staff when managing radioactive animal patients.
The 1-131 Capsule makes it easy to control and manage animal patients, helping the practice to comply with all health and safety regulations imposed by the state and following the ALARA principle for staff and patients.
The stress experienced by the feline patient from being away from their owners is minimised, as the design allows for remote video surveillance and the ability to play recordings of the owner’s voice, which can be programmed to sound at specific times, such as feeding time, so the animal does not feel isolated.
Features:
- Provides the highest level of radiation protection for veterinary staff.
- Allows for easy relocation of the cage.
- Follows the ALARA principle for staff and patients.
- Enables close visual contact between staff and owners, while preventing the risk of exposure and contamination.
- Reduces the potential for litigation related to radiation exposure or contamination from radioisotopes.
- No need for additional room shielding, as the capsules offer superior self-shielding, with a certificate of integrity provided with each unit.
