    Researchers developed an adjustable operating table specifically designed to immobilize guinea pigs. This innovation facilitates precise experimental ear surgery on small animal models.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Animal Models in Research
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Experimental surgery on small animals requires specialized equipment for precise manipulation.
    • Immobilization is critical for successful and reproducible surgical outcomes in rodent models.
    • Existing surgical tables may not be optimally designed for the specific anatomical needs of guinea pigs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and construction of a novel adjustable operating table.
    • To detail the method of use for this specialized surgical table.
    • To provide a tool for improved immobilization of guinea pigs during experimental ear surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of an adjustable operating table with features for secure animal fixation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of a protocol for utilizing the table during surgical procedures.
  • Testing the table's efficacy in immobilizing guinea pigs for ear surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional and adjustable operating table was successfully constructed.
    • The table effectively immobilizes guinea pigs, enabling precise surgical access.
    • The design facilitates consistent positioning for experimental ear surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed adjustable operating table is a valuable tool for researchers conducting experimental ear surgery on guinea pigs.
    • This specialized equipment enhances the ability to perform reproducible surgical procedures on this animal model.
    • The table's design addresses the need for improved immobilization in small animal surgical research.
