Question
I am a new faculty member at the University in Southern Ontario. I will be setting up a laboratory facility and will be doing research that requires different positions for my subjects. Ideally I would like to have a chair/table, that is as close to a massage/dentist chair as possible, with adjustments possible at the head, pelvis, knee and ankle, as well as being able to tilt the entire subject into a standing position. Do you have any products that fit this description. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer

You may wish to consider the following ENT Chair Item #: 2168UMF

ENT Chair has the best of both worlds, the convenience of patient postioning usually available only with a power executed chair and the economy of a manual chair with the back and leg sections operating independently of each other.

Dear Madam/Sir,I am looking for a pulse oximeter that is suitable for measuring the SpO2 of rabbits and mice. In one article, Dr. Robert W.
