Jorgensen Labs JorVet 5" x 15" Sand Sock Medium, 5 lbs.

Yes, the JorVet Medium Sand Sock is completely radiolucent, ensuring crisp, artifact-free X-rays and diagnostic scans during veterinary imaging procedures. Engineered specifically for radiological, dental, and surgical suites, the uniform internal fill maintains consistent density without creating distracting metallic shadows on digital radiographs. Technicians can confidently position small dogs, cats, and exotic patients for dental x-rays, skull views, or extremity series without requiring manual physical restraint. The clear imaging quality minimizes the need for repeat exposures, significantly reducing radiation exposure for both staff and animal patients. This dependable radiolucency makes it an essential tool for high-accuracy veterinary diagnostic work.

The 5" x 15" 5 lb dimensions are ideally proportioned for stabilizing small-to-medium canine breeds, felines, and larger exotic patients weighing between 10 and 30 lbs. Its 15-inch length provides targeted support along smaller torsos, limbs, or necks, making it ideal for dental procedures, blood draws, and minor surgical preps. Veterinary teams frequently rely on this 5 lb weight to anchor endotracheal tubes, stabilize legs during IV catheter placement, or maintain precise lateral recumbency. The moderate ballast offers the perfect balance of holding power without overwhelming delicate or small-frame patient anatomy. It serves as an indispensable everyday positioning aid across general practice treatment rooms and specialty suites alike.

Featuring a heavy-duty, fluid-impermeable vinyl outer casing, this positioning sock can be rapidly wiped down and disinfected between patient uses. The non-porous surface prevents blood, body fluids, irrigation water, and scrub chemicals from soaking into the internal weighted material. Surgical nurses can fully sanitize the exterior in seconds using standard clinic disinfectant sprays or wipes, maintaining strict infection control standards. The smooth surface eliminates folds and porous weaves where bacterial or fungal micro-contaminants typically lodge. This effortless cleanability ensures fast operating room turnaround times while upholding uncompromising patient hygiene.

The pliable 15-inch body allows the 5 lbs of weighted sand to conform smoothly around a small patient's delicate contours, distributing weight evenly to avoid localized pressure points. Unlike rigid plastic blocks or stiff sandbags, this flexible weight drapes gently over small limbs and torsos to hold animals securely without causing pressure trauma or restricting breathing. The textured vinyl exterior generates high surface friction against stainless steel tables and dental tubs, preventing the weight from slipping during procedures. By cradling the patient in cushioned, steady support, the sock maintains precise alignment even under active tissue manipulation. This gentle hold improves clinical efficiency while ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure.

Designed with heavy-duty, double-welded vinyl seams and a puncture-resistant outer shell, this 5 lb sand sock is built to withstand high-volume clinical use without bursting. An internal secondary liner encapsulates the sand fill, providing double-wall containment that protects against claw tears, drops, and seam stress. The rugged vinyl material resists stiffening, cracking, or degrading despite continuous exposure to harsh medical disinfectants. Engineered specifically for the demands of busy animal hospitals, it handles heavy daily dragging across metal tables without releasing fine sand particles into clean zones. This robust construction delivers long-term reliability, maximizing your clinic’s capital equipment ROI.
