Idea Exchange: Use sailing tools to restrain animals
Quick-release cam cleats used on sailboats to set sails make inexpensive X-ray table tie-down cleats.
Quick-release cam cleats used on sailboats to set sails make inexpensive x-ray table tie-down cleats. For $36, I attached 12 cam cleats (available in marine or sailing supply stores or catalogs) with screws around the base of our x-ray table. By using ¼-in nylon rope in the cleats, I can position an animal or a limb on the table and leave the room to take the radiograph.
