Podoblock - Equine hoof positioning block for LM/AP radiography
The Podoblock is a positioning block designed to immobilize the equine hoof, improving the accuracy and quality of lateromedial (LM) and anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. Its "hands-free" system ensures a constant angle in every position and minimizes radiation exposure.
Manufactured with a aluminum base and a PE500 synthetic upper partThe Podoblock offers durability and strength. Its attachment system for cassettes allows positioning at defined angles of 45°, 50°, 55° and 60°.facilitating the acquisition of images in LM, AP and oblique projections. In addition, its "hands-free" design minimizes radiation exposure and improves safety during procedures.
The Podoblock is the ultimate solution for the immobilization of the equine hoof during radiographic procedures. Designed to provide a constant angle at every position, this device significantly improves the accuracy and quality of LM/AP images.
Its "hands-free" system allows X-rays to be taken without the need for additional assistance, reducing radiation exposure and optimizing clinical workflow.
The Podoblock offers customization options to suit the specific needs of each professional:
