Clinic storage DIY: Park your red rubber catheters on the wall
If you dont like fishing catheters out of drawers (what size? whats this?), try my solution for your veterinary hospital.
A better way to find the right-sized catheter faster? Vet-wrapped pill bottles on the bottom, cardboard on top and sticky-tape strips to hold them to the wall. (Photo courtesy of Jenny Szymkowiak, RVT))
In an attempt to solve the never-ending issue of battling with red rubber catheters, I made a storage spot in our surgery suite. I built it from 60 dram pill bottles, cardboard, Command strips and plenty of vet wrap. This helps us avoid shoving them in a drawer and hoping for the best.
