Melissa,

     I  have an "old" Nuclear Medicine Instrument and Accessories
catalog from MXE in Culver City in California.  Catalog M-4, page
27  has  a  "mold and hold" patient positioner  for  infants  and
children and a larger positioner for adults.  The whole body size
is  82" x 36". Not quite big enough for a horse, but would handle
any  dog  I've ever seen.  These positioners in this old  catalog
are  about $200.00 and the pumps are about another $200.  The old
phone number I have is 1-800-252-1801 - I hope it's still good!!!

     If  you  want  further  information,  please  e-mail  me  at
Baumbaug@nosc.mil and I will fax you a copy.

Subject: animal restraints

Getting us all back on topic...

Does anyone know of a source for veterinary restraint systems for
use during
veterinary  radiography and/or fluoroscopy procedures?  The  need
is for both
small animal (dogs, cats) and large animal (horses) cases.

(or  perhaps more bluntly, in the words of my office-mate, "where
can one
obtain doggie straitjackets?")

Additionally,  does anyone know how well such restraints work  in
cases where
an animal cannot be tranquilized?

Thanks in advance!
