Yesterday was a success. Everyone was extremely pleased with the v-gel's. Better all-around ventilation for our patients. One issue that we had to trouble shoot was creating a seal. With practice that did improve though. Thank you so much for introducing us to this wonderful product. I will keep you posted. |
|
|
Excellent information Dawn! We look forward to trying the v-gels. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge. |
|
|
I feel a V-gel is not only easier to use, but safer as well because it reduces the risk of tracheal trauma and damage. I can’t praise this product highly enough! |
|
|
Thanks for following up. So far, we have only positive things to say - very easy to place and make a complete seal |
|
|
They are easy to place and the last one was easily placed by a student. Thanks, so far really impressed. |

Here at Auburn University Small Animal hospital, we have enjoyed working with the V-Gels. They have worked wonderfully with our smaller surgical procedures like spays and neuters. Our comfort level is continually growing the more we use them. The students seem to enjoy them also. Also, the cats are waking up much smoother than they do with the endotracheal tubes. |
|
|
I bought 3 v-gels at CVC Kansas City. They are fantastic. Tubing cats is a pain in the ... Easy now. |
|

We are very pleased with the cat v-gels® in our Radiation Therapy Department. We no longer have tracheitis in those patients receiving treatments on a daily basis. Our exotics department is using the rabbit vgels® and they too love them. It's so much better than intubating them. |

It's easy to use, we have seen no complications, it's great. Watch Video Testimonial |

The v-gel® system is phenomenal! My technician and I took a four hour hands on lab a the WVC in February of 2014, and immediately felt comfortable with the system. We are using it minimally 2-3 times a week. We even use the v-gel® for quick oral examinations - there is no reason not to! |

|
We love them! I think we are ready to buy more cat tubes. Who is your US distributor? |
|
|
We've used the v-gels, especially for short procedures in cats. Because of the trauma usually related to intubation, we generally get a better overall quality of anaesthesia and overall ease on the airway with v-gels. Watch Video Testimonial |

|
v-gel are not inserted into the trachea so there is no possibility of trauma as with traditional endotracheal tubes. I think these should be and possibly will be elevated to the standard of care in feline veterinary medicine. Awesome product! |
|
|
My conclusion is that in a short period of time the v-gel device will be the standard of care for airway protection and competence when it comes to feline surgery. |

Both rabbits recovered well after treatment and commenced eating almost immediately. There was no evidence of discomfort or coughing during or after recovery. |
|
The v-gels in small animal surgery are being used every single day. It is like it has always been done this way and ET tubes no longer exist for cats! It's amazing, |
|
Even though our students have to learn to place ET tubes, they always place the v-gel first and only replace it with an ET tube if they want. Therefore I always prepare the v-gel every time we anaesthetize animals. |
|
We have great expectations that with the introduction of this supraglottic airway device, anaesthesia-related mortality and morbidity will decrease. |
|
|
The v-gel might contribute in reducing anaesthetic mortality in cats during short procedures where anaesthesia is required, being a simple and cost effective tool to gain airway control. |
|
v-gel insertion is simple and can be done in a few seconds. My experience regarding use of v-gel is very positive. v-gel is a excellent alternative to endotracheal intubation in small animals. |
|
Thank you for the amazing talk you gave us. The vet nurses have been talking about it this afternoon instead of doing their Anatomy and Physiology! |
|
|
I would like to say a big thank you. Last Wednesday v-gel® saved my rabbit Monty's life. He had a 2 hour operation to remove a giant abscess from his tummy. He probably wouldn't have survived the op without the v-gel® |
|
|
A major advantage is that they can be autoclaved in practice which gives extra peace of mind that there are no cross contamination issues. |
|
|
using the vgels® has totally reduced my stress and anxiety about anesthetising rabbits Watch Video Testimonial |
|
|
They also provide advantages for both the patient and veterinary professional, in terms of safer anaesthesia and reduced environmental contamination. I have found them a very useful addition to rabbit anaesthesia in practice. |
|
|
Using the rabbit vgels® means that you can properly assess their respiratory function and provide IPPV should it be needed (such as when they are breath holding) allowing them to reach surgical plane of anaesthesia sooner, thus reducing the time spent under anaesthesia for the patient. |
|
|
I regularly intubate within seconds single handed and am still finding it hard to believe I have done it correctly - it is that easy! |
|
|
v-gel® for rabbit anaesthesia is the product that has reduced my stress levels by the greatest amount within the operating theatre, thanks for the great product. On another note, the D-grip that I ordered from you on Thursday was delivered in less than 24 hours and in use, IMPRESSIVE! |
|
|
I purchased v-gels® at the 2012 London Vet Show, so was among the first practices to use them. Put simply, they are easy and quick to insert and far less traumatic than ET tubes. We have had no problems at all and would not be without them. |
|
|
Using the v-gel® in rabbits has improved the quality of my rabbit anaesthesia. The reduced resistance to airflow when compared to a small ET tube is so significant. |
|
|
We have now started using them and they are absolutely fantastic! Much easier to place than I thought they would be and infinitely easier than ET tubing. |
|
|
I am always interested in developments that would improve the safety of anaesthetics. I would be very happy to pay the increased cost incurred by using v-gel. It is a small price to pay for an increase in their survival of operations. |
|
|
I rave about the cat v-gels! They are so easy to use, quick to place, greater internal diameter than e-t tubes, less leakage than around non- cuffed tubes, and safer than cuffed e-t tubes . |
|
|
The v-gel provides a unique option for veterinarians to secure an airway, without the practical demands of endotracheal intubation, nor the risks of tracheal and glottal trauma. It is the first product in what promises to be a whole array of supraglottic airway devices for veterinary use. |
|
v-gel® is going to revolutionise rabbit anaesthesia. There are no more excuses today to use face masks any more, which will significantly decrease anaesthesia risks for rabbits. |
|
I have manually ventilated one cat with V-gel (PIP 10 cmH2O) and it felt tight and gave really nice capnography. That cat went to head CT so I could also visualize from the CT images how the V-gel is on its place and there's no air between it and the cat's pharyngeal soft tissues. |
|
I think they are very easy to install, very secure with the airway because they don't come in to contact with the trachea and allow me to do all kinds of surgery, abdominal, thoracic... |
|
We do have much better capnographic monitoring with the devices than with intubated rabbits because the device seems to fit very well. |
|
"The performance of the v-gel Cat is very good - I still think the best thing about the v-gel supraglottic airway devices is that you need no deep level of anaesthesia to "secure" your airway. |
|
|
v--gel may well be the single largest step to decreasing mortality in rabbits and sign the end of the age where rabbits are anaesthetised without secured airway! |

We are pleased with their use of use - staff were able to use then successfully right away. Anaesthetics suing the v-gel® have so far been uneventful. |
