What Comes in the YB-X-A01-MR – MR Safe Closed Cell Veterinary Sponge Bundle
The bundle brings together five closed-cell shapes that cover most of a veterinary setup. You get a 15-degree wedge set for a light tilt, two flat rectangle sponges in a 6 by 4 by 1 and a 6 by 4 by 2 for general support, a flat bottom trough that cradles a limb or the head, and a long 45-degree spinal wedge for lateral work. Together, they let you hold a dog, a cat, or a small animal on its back, side, or belly and keep it steady through the study.
Because the foam carries no metal and no coating, the whole set goes into the MRI suite and still reads clear on an X-ray or a CT. Each shape is also sold on its own, so you can round out the set later, like the large 45-degree spinal wedge for lateral positioning.
Closed Cell or Vinyl for the Vet Room
Both closed-cell and vinyl work for animal positioning, and they trade off on two things. This closed-cell set reads fully radiolucent with no seam lines and is verified MR Safe, so it works in the MRI suite and stays clear on an X-ray, though the bare foam is less sealed against heavy spills. A vinyl veterinary bundle wraps each sponge in a wipe-clean, fluid-resistant cover that suits a messy surgery, but the sewn seams show on an X-ray. Many clinics keep closed cells for clean imaging and MR, and vinyl for the surgery table.
Built for the Vet Suite and the MRI Room
- Five closed cell shapes in one box, so you can build most positions without hunting for pieces.
- Verified MR Safe, so the whole set goes into the MRI suite with the animal.
- Non-coated charcoal foam reads fully radiolucent, so it stays out of the X-ray and CT image.
- Firm, non-porous foam holds its shape under the weight of the animal.
- Fluid-resistant surface wipes clean between patients.
- Latex-free and light, so the set is easy to move and suits a latex-free room.
Cleaning and Care
Wipe each sponge with your standard surface disinfectant between patients. The closed-cell foam does not absorb fluid, so it dries fast and does not hold an odor, which keeps the set ready for a busy schedule. Store the pieces flat and dry with the rest of your positioning sponges so each shape keeps its edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the MR safe veterinary bundle?
Five closed-cell positioning sponges: a 15-degree wedge set, two flat rectangles in a 6 by 4 by 1 and a 6 by 4 by 2, a flat bottom trough, and a long 45-degree spinal wedge. Together, they cover lateral, dorsal, and raised positions.
Is the bundle safe for the MRI suite?
Yes. Every sponge is verified MR Safe under the ASTM F2503 standard and carries no metal, so the whole set goes into the suite and the bore with the animal.
Do the sponges show up in the image?
No. The non-coated charcoal closed-cell foam reads fully radiolucent, so the sponges stay out of the X-ray and CT image.
How is this different from the vinyl bundle?
The closed cell set is fully radiolucent and MR safe, so it is the pick for clean imaging and MR work. The vinyl bundle wipes clean and sheds fluid, which suits a messy surgery, but its seams show on an X-ray.
Can I buy the shapes separately?
Yes. Each sponge in the bundle is also sold on its own, so you can replace a piece or add to the set over time.
