HSE-Small Operating Table size 1, Type 872/3

for mouse and rat pup

The HSE-Operating Table size 1 is suitable for mice and rat pus. At a heavy cast iron tripod base is mounted a ball joint, allowing to tilt the plate in any direction. The plate of the operating table measures 160 mm × 100 mm and is made of plastic coated aluminium plate. Both sides of the plate have multiple slots for fixing the paw holderss and optional thorax retractors. Numerous slots and dedicated paw holders allow both large and small animals to be held firmly in position for optimal surgical access. A block clamp with ball joint holder can be fixed onto the plate for holding various probes, electrodes, or cannulae. For grounding the table e.g. while recording the animals ECG, there is a socket for connecting a banana plug (4 mm).
The operating table comes with paw holders and grounding cable.

The operating table size 1 is available in four versions:

  • Operating table size 1 Type 872/3(Tor F) without heating.
    This model is recommended only for removing isolated organs and tissue and not suitable for longer experiments at anaesthetized animals.
    NOTE: The heating system cannot be retrofitted.
  • Operating table size 1H Type 872/3H(Tor F) with built-in heating, uncontrolled, including a heating adapter box and a power supply.
    In this version the table reaches a fixed temperature of approx. 38°C. This model is suitable for short term surgery or experiments
    NOTE: The temperature of the table is not controlled.
  • Operating table size 1H Type 872/3H(Tor F) with built-in heating, temperature controlled, including heating controller Type 872/1.
    This arrangement is recommended for short-term experiments. Good stabilization of the temperature of the table is ensured, using the temperature probe which is built-in the table. The table is heated and maintained at stable temperature by controlling the amount of DC-energy to the heating element. On the controller the energy is adjustable in a range of 20-100% of the maximum energy.
    NOTE: The temperature of the table is controlled.
  • Operating table size 1H Type 872/3H(Tor F) with built-in heating, temperature controlled, including adapter box and homeothermic controller 872/2
    This arrangement is recommended for long-time experiments. Good stabilization of the temperature of the table is ensured, using a rectal temperature probe, the temperature of the animals body can directly be controlled which is the best way to operate.
    NOTE: The temperature of the animal is controlled.

Heating Controller Type 872/1 to HSE-Small Operating Table size 1 and size 5
The adjustable temperature heated models use the heating controller 872/1. In this version, there is no feedback control. The table is heated and maintained at stable temperature by controlling the amount of DC-energy to the heating element. On the controller the energy is adjustable in a range of 20-100% of the maximum energy. The controller also ensures the safety shutoff. These models are often used for quick surgical procedures or acute animal studies (30 minutes
or less) requiring the core temperature of the animal be maintained. To adjust the controller an electronic thermometer for measuring the animal body temperature is required.

Homeothermic Controller Type 872/2 to HSE-Small Operating Table size 1 and size 5

Should the animal’s core temperature fall, power is automatically increased to the operating table; conversely, power will automatically reduce if the animal’s temperature rises. During this process the animal’s temperature is continuously displayed on a front panel LCD display.

This homeothermic controller consists of three parts: a probe, a control unit, and a adapter box. The flexible probe is a precision thermistor encapsulated in a bead of epoxy resin at the top of a flexible hollow plastic tube. The 2 mm diameter probe is 100 mm (4 in) long and has a 2 m (6 ft) long cable with plug for attachment to the control unit. It is suitable for a wide range of laboratory animals from adult mice to rata and guinea pigs

The rigid probe is a stainless steel shaft with a diameter of 1.6 mm. The shaft attaches to a 2 m (6 ft) cable with a plug that connects to the control unit. It is suitable for use with mice,and rodents. The output of the temperature sensing probe is used by the control unit to proportionally control the regulated, low-voltage DC supply to the operating table. This method of control alleviates the interference problems associated with that of non-proportional control, such as switching contacts, thus enabling the system to be used in conjunction with highgain recording systems.

The control temperature is preset at 37°C (98.6°F) at the factory, but can be adjusted within the range of 35° to 40°C (95° to 104°F) by means of a control on the front panel. An LCD display on the control unit continuously displays the probe temperature. A horizontal LED bar graph indicates the level of power being delivered to the operating table. When core temperature is substantially below the desired temperature the bar graph will indicate maximum power being delivered.

The adapter consists of a separate box including the permanent control of the maximum temperature of the operating table. It acts as a safety cicuit by limiting the maximum temperature of the operating table to 40°C. This circuit uses a second thermistor probe built-in the operating table.

The operating table is electrically floating, with respect to ground however, one end of the heating element can be grounded by a switch on the front panel of the control unit. The system operates satisfactorily whether or not the operating table is grounded. Special circuitry eliminates electrical noise thus permitting sensitive recordings.
