“Is it possible to design a veterinary table that can be lowered sufficiently and facilitates weighing moments and radiography procedures?”
Veterinarian
This transformative initiative seeks to address the absence of integrated weighing solutions in surgical tables, aiming to minimize animal movement during procedures and streamline veterinary workflows.
— Objectives
INTEGRATION OF VETERINARY FUNCTIONS
The primary objective was to create a versatile veterinary table that seamlessly integrates weighing, surgical, and radiography functions. The goal was to minimize the need for animal movement during these crucial procedures, optimizing both efficiency and the well-being of the animals.
USER FRIENDLY DESIGN
The table was conceptualized to be user-friendly, allowing animals to step onto the very low table independently for weighing and radiography. This innovative design aimed to provide a stress-free experience for both the veterinary staff and the animals.
— Some key features
COLLABORATIVE CONCEPTUALIZATION
The project started from an idea proposed by a veterinarian, with Fosfor taking charge of conceptualization, development, and production. The collaborative effort between Mu-pet and Alcyon Belux further enhanced the expertise and resources dedicated to bringing this innovative veterinary table to life.
USER TESTING
Rigorous user testing with animals was conducted, leading to the identification of specific design elements. This ensured that the final product met both functional and ethical standards in veterinary practices.
MATERIAL INNOVATION AND PATENTED ELEMENTS
Prototypes were initially crafted in steel and later refined using aluminium and plastic materials. The incorporation of aluminium extrusion not only enhanced durability but also facilitated the creation of a lightweight yet robust veterinary table.
This project signifies a significant leap in veterinary practices, addressing the challenges of integrated weighing and radiography with an user-friendly and innovative solution. Through collaborative efforts, rigorous testing, and material innovation, we have not only conceptualized but brought to life a veterinary table that integrates three essential activities seamlessly.
