Abstract
An apparatus is described for rigid suspension of the spinal columns of mammals ranging in size from large dogs to small rabbits. This apparatus isunique in that the animal is suspended on its side, allowing free access tothe entire spinal column for spinal cord studies and free access to the thoracic and abdominal regions for heart, lung, and visceral studies that may require simultaneous surgical procedures in both ventral and dorsal regions.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
