VetFlex ICU systems are veterinary oxygen cages built for monitored oxygen therapy, respiratory stabilization, surgical recovery, and overnight observation. Each configuration works as an oxygen cage for dogs and cats across a wide range of patient sizes. Choose a single chamber for a space-conscious clinic, or start with the best-selling Pro Duo when your hospital needs two independent veterinary ICU chambers and room to manage more than one critical patient.
Every configuration uses AERAFLOW™ ventilation for CO₂ management without soda lime. Compare chamber capacity, temperature control, patient isolation, monitoring, and oxygen source requirements before requesting a quote.
