• Multiple access: the two doors (longitudinal and lateral) allow for different approaches during recovery and clinical procedures, reducing operational times and animal stress.
• Versatility of use: the same cage serves as a recovery box in clinics, an observation station, and a car transport cage, centralizing equipment investments.
• Hygienic practicality: the removable plastic support and the painted steel structure allow for rapid and thorough cleaning and disinfection, a critical element for preventing contamination.
• Transportability: the integrated handle and lightweight design facilitate transport in vehicles, essential for emergency services or home visits.
• Space efficiency: the folding capacity significantly reduces the footprint in warehouses or storage compartments, optimizing clinical space.
• Structural durability: the painted steel and secure closure guarantee resistance over time even in intense use contexts, limiting replacement costs.

The cage finds its primary application in private and public veterinary practices, where it serves as a recovery box for animals in postoperative recovery, clinical monitoring, or precautionary isolation. It is particularly suitable for feline and canine hospitalization facilities that need to safely contain small and medium-sized animals.

In mobile clinics and emergency veterinary services, the cage represents a practical transport solution that guarantees safe confinement during car journeys to hospitalization facilities. Animal boarding facilities use it both as a station cage and as a temporary isolation unit. In behavioral monitoring or quarantine contexts, the two independent doors facilitate control operations without exposing the operator to animal escape risks.

This cage is the right choice when the clinic needs a tool that combines clinical functionality, transportability, and efficient space management. Unlike fixed wall-mounted static cages, it offers the flexibility of a mobile tool without sacrificing robustness and hygiene. It is appropriate for facilities operating with small and medium-sized animals that face frequent cycles of cleaning and disinfection.

Operational prerequisites include the availability of a flat surface where the cage can be placed, access to detergents and disinfectants compatible with painted steel, and storage space for folding. If the clinic simultaneously manages multiple animals in recovery, the single-place model requires prior evaluation of the number of units needed. The choice is inadequate if operating exclusively with large animals (equines, bovines) for which larger dimensions are required.

Can the cage be used for both recovery and car transport?

Yes. The cage is designed for dual use: as a stationary recovery box in the clinic and as a transport cage in vehicles. The integrated handle and foldable design make it easily transferable between environments. In a car, it must be properly secured to ensure stability during travel.

What are the differences compared to canvas or plastic folding cages?

The painted steel structure offers superior strength compared to canvas or plastic materials, which is particularly important in clinical contexts with high-frequency use. Steel also allows for more effective cleaning and disinfection, a critical element for preventing biological contamination. Canvas cages are lighter but less hygienic; plastic ones are fragile if subjected to repeated stress.

Is the plastic support removable for cleaning?

Yes, the support is removable. This allows for independent cleaning of the base, preventing the accumulation of contaminated material between the cage and the floor. The retractable plastic also facilitates the folding of the cage when not in use.

Which disinfectant agents are compatible with painted steel?

Painted steel is compatible with most quaternary ammonium-based disinfectants and low-concentration chlorine-based solutions (below 0.5%). Avoid concentrated acidic products that could compromise the paint over time. Consult the safety data sheets of the disinfectant in use for specific instructions.

Can I fold the cage with the plastic support still mounted?

The support is removable before folding. It is recommended to detach it before folding the structure to ensure a compact closure and to avoid mechanical stress on the support joints and hinges.

What certifications or veterinary regulations does it comply with?

The cage complies with construction standards for veterinary facilities in terms of safe and non-toxic materials for animals. Verify with the supplier compliance with local safety regulations for veterinary clinical equipment and specific directives regarding animal containment cages in your country or region.
