Veterinary MRI-scan protection
In the past, a bandage has been used to limit high pitches from entering the ears, but it proved not always to be the most practical solution. The search for an easier and environmentally friendly alternative led to the MPS-Head Cover.
At the Anicura Specialist Referral Center, they have conducted thorough testing together with professional veterinarians to ensure that the MPS-Protective Head Cover does not interfere with MRI scans. Their findings confirm that this innovative product is MRI safe, making it a superior alternative to traditional methods like wrapping the head and ears with bandages.
The head cover can be quickly applied to the patient for the MRI scan, but also if a palpation needs to be performed in between. At the end of the examination, it can also be quickly removed! - Specialist Referral Center Anicura Haaglanden in Rijswijk
What is the MPS Protective Head Cover?
The MPS-Protective Head Cover has been developed for dogs that need protection for head and/or ear issues, such as an aural hematoma. The MPS-Protective Head Cover fits snugly around the head thanks to the elastic cord and adjustable closure straps. This makes the product very suitable for covering the ears. Using safe and breathable materials such as Invista Lycra® and Cotton, this product allows wounds and infections to be protected while having enough air circulation needed for recovery.
Veterinary MRI-scan protection
This handy head protection for dogs offers numerous benefits during veterinary MRI scans. It's easy and fast use significantly reduces stress and time for both pets and veterinary staff enhancing the efficiency of MRI scans. Anicura continues to prioritize the well-being of its patients by choosing this innovative product while maintaining high standards of care and efficiency during MRI procedures.
The dog head cover is available in five different sizes with a flexible fit to accommodate various breeds and sizes. It’s also an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable materials since the MPS® Protective Head Cover and its accompanying pads can be washed and reused.
How is the MPS- Protective Head Cover used?
The MPS-Protective Head Cover is designed to allow proper air circulation while still enabling dogs to hear normally. For pets undergoing an MRI scan where sound needs to be reduced, one or two Head Cover Pads are placed per ear, along with an extra sound-dampening cushion (cotton padding wrapped in elastic bandage). These are inserted into the specially designed inner pockets, positioned between the ear canal and the Head Cover.
