ABSTRACT:
A device for restraining an animal to an x-ray table while conducting veterinary radiography. The animal restraining device comprises an impermeable, pliant sheet for covering the body of an animal. The pliant sheet is encased by a tubular frame which is attached by hinges to a rigid, planer surface for placement on an x-ray table or to the x-ray table itself. With the animal positioned on the rigid surface or table, the frame and sheet combination is placed in registry with the table as the head or the animal is brought through a head-receiving orifice in the sheet. The tubular frame is connected to an external vacuum source. With the source activated, air is drawn from the apparatus through apertures in the tubular frame, thereby creating a partial vacuum within the chamber defined by the sheet and the table. The pliant sheet closely conforms to the body of the animal, thus immobilizing it by the application of an evenly distributed, but variable, pressure.
