ratnells produces robust, durable storage units, storage trolleys, boxes, and trays, which according to the manufacturer work together to provide a complete storage solution that can become an integral part of the working day for veterinary practices.
The storage system aids nurs-
ing with a simple effective way of be- ing organised in advance for all pro- cedures. During procedures, mobile trolleys are equipped with all neces- sary supplies, and are capable of being moved quickly, room to room, depending on patient needs. This can reduce procedure times, which result in speedier patient recovery times. Storage units in the back office can help to improve stock control and profitability.

Invicta Launches First POM-V
EQUINE
Animal Health has launched a licensed synthetic sodium hyaluronate (HA), for intra-articular treatment of lameness caused by joint dysfunction associated with non- infectious synovitis in horses. The functional mechanisms
S
of HA are directly dependent on the molecular weight and concentration of HA. Therefore, SynVet-50 has been formulated with a molecular weight of 1.5m Daltons, which is the highest of any synthetic HA available in the UK. Additionally, at 20mg per
ml, SynVet-50 is also the most concentrated HA available. Storage is at ambient temperature so the product is not subject to refrigerated storage. SynVet-50 is a 2.5ml solution containing 50mg HA, conveniently presented in a 5ml glass syringe.

Immunotherapy Treatment
GENERAL
immunotherapy treatment for pets that fail to respond to allergy shots. Intended for canine, feline, and equine patients, the therapy has been demonstrated to be a beneficial alternative treatment option in a recent study, as well as being a commonly-used method among humans for more than 20 years.
A
Each allergy drop is prepared in a glycerin solution to provide an- tigen stabil- ity and has a slightly sweetened taste to make the administra- tion pro- cess as stress-free as pos- sible. The Slit drops are also suitable for patients on a restricted
budget, as it removes the need for on- going consultation and injection fees. Martyn Carpenter, director of Axiom Laboratories, told VSM: “This method greatly reduces irritation and the likelihood of anaphylactic shock, and can be administered easily at home by the client... removing the stress which accompanies a visit to the surgery for many pets.” Axiom is also responsible for
developing Allergyvet, an in vitro sero- logical allergy testing service that has served more than 150,000 patients to date.
