For referring veterinarians
Everything below takes a practice about twenty minutes and saves an hour on the day. Work through it before we arrive and the case starts on time.
The host hospital provides a licensed veterinary technician to administer and monitor all anesthesia. Your team knows the patient and stays with the patient. We bring the surgery.
Before the day
We travel with the instrumentation and implants. These are the pieces that have to come from your side.
Everything else, including instruments, implants and specialty equipment, arrives with us.
Surgery day
Three phases, in order. The first one happens before our van pulls in.
We examine the patient, set up our instrumentation and finalize positioning and sterile scrub. Your team runs anesthesia and monitoring throughout the procedure.
Our team breaks down and cleans up our own equipment. Your hospital continues monitoring and post-operative care, or transfers to an overnight facility if that suits the case. Payment is rendered at the time of service.
Next step
Call before the day rather than on it. We would far rather sort it out in advance.
