This compact operating board takes advantage of the Deltaphase principle to maintain animal body temperature during surgical or experimental procedures. An eight and one half inch square stainless steel operating surface lies in contact with an activated Deltaphase isothermal pad. The underside of the pad is insulated to provide a longer isothermal period. Molded wells are provided for sponges, instruments and anesthetic apparatus.

This board was designed by research scientists to be functional, durable, and easy to clean. Its low cost and safety make it appro-priate for use in student laboratories. The unit is supplied with two Deltaphase pads.
