Enhancing Animal Welfare and Improving Surgical Outcomes Using New Tracking Technology, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

TORONTO, July 16, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The live webinar upcoming on Tuesday, July 31, 2018, at 2 p.m. EDT will explore the challenges of paper-based tracking systems and how the implementation of new technology has improved surgical outcomes and enhanced animal welfare. For years, research institutions have made attempts to improve animal welfare (3 Rs) and surgical model outcomes through various tracking methodologies. Improvements have been limited as paper-based systems can cause issues with access and accuracy, while electronic documents face challenges with tracking and compliance.

An innovative software system was created to track and monitor the entire spectrum of animals used in the laboratory including surgical model development to improve animal welfare and realize efficiencies. The new technology is designed to limit human error by permanently identifying each rodent's status through all stages of the surgical process and to provide users with better access to inventory, effective metrics on particular aspects of surgical procedures and a mechanism for ensuring that the right medications are taken at the right time.

During the presentation, Brad Gien, Head of North America Surgery at Envigo, and Matt Ruiter, President of UID Identification Solutions, will explore a customer-based case study in using the new technology. The system adds an extra layer of quality assurance, meaning that customers can be sure the right model has been supplied for surgical procedures. By creating a digital repository, the system streamlines the regulatory compliance challenges of existing electronic documentation approaches, including failure to compile required data.
