Place these vinyl pads on the operating table beneath the animal to reduce the risk of hypothermia caused by anesthesia and operative shock.
Uniform heat is supplied by 5 cm (2 in) wide low voltage stainless steel heater bands that deliver 10 watts per square foot. The heater bands are encased in a smooth vinyl pad making the pad completely waterproof. There are no ridges or grooves to trap dirt.
Two sizes are available. The small size measures 33 x 58.5 cm (13 x 23 in). The large size measures 33 x 102 cm (13 x 40 in). Each barrier is supplied with its own low voltage transformer with a 2 m (6 ft) grounded power cable and a 2 m (6 ft) lead to the pad. The pad disconnects from the power cable for easy cleaning and storage. The transformer is sealed in strong polybutadiene rubber to protect it from abuse.
