“The HUG-U-VAC is a valuable tool in our operating room. It affords excellent patient positioning. It works well with the myriad of shapes and sizes of veterinary patients. It is reliable and simple to use. Thanks for making a great product.”

“There are many important aspects of surgery and proper positioning and stabilization is one. We find the HUG-U-VAC positioners to be durable and reliable. They have the greatest longevity of any positioner we have used and would recommend them.”

Karl Kraus, DVM, MS
Professor and Head Small Animal Surgery
Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine

“We used to position animals with towels, mattress pads, tape, etc. during every laboratory period. Now we use the HUG-U-VAC positioners. We use the in-line suction from the scavenger interface of the anesthesia machine to evacuate the positioner. Done in a matter of seconds. Efficient and painless.”
