U-40 insulin syringes
PetTest U-40 syringes feature 31-ga, extra-fine needles. The syringes, available in both 1/3-cc and 1/2-cc capacities, are a perfect match for U-40 insulin (commonly used for canine and feline diabetes) and do not require any conversions or calculations as a result. The new syringes also feature 1/2-cc unit markings, ensuring accurate doses, no matter how small. These 31-ga, 5/16-inch-length syringes for U-40 insulin offer veterinarians an option to the thicker and less-comfortable 29-ga needle commonly used for insulin injections.
Barco Uniforms
Animal-hair-resistant scrubs
Barco Uniforms' Barco One and Barco One Wellness scrub sets have antistatic properties that allow animal hair to release quickly from the surface of the fabric. In addition, both lines feature moisture-wicking fabric with four-way stretch designed to release soil and a temperature-regulating component that allow the wearer to stay fresh-smelling, ultra-cool and composed throughout the busiest days with the rowdiest of animal patient visitors.
TailTrax
Info-tracking app for canine littermates
TailTrax, a free mobile app available for Apple and Android devices, lets veterinarians share information with their colleagues on specific litters of dogs. Features include being able to share real-time health alerts regarding a litter, search health alerts, access a research database and securely message peers caring for other dogs from the same litter.
