Veterinary Surgical Tables for Dental & Surgery Clinics
304 stainless steel operating, prep, and treatment tables designed to reduce cross-contamination risk, speed up patient turnover, and protect staff from repetitive strain during long dental and surgical procedures. Compare 3 purpose-built models below.
Common Problems in Vet Dental & Surgery Workflows
North American and European veterinary clinics face recurring operational issues that the wrong table design makes worse. Here's what to solve for before you buy.
Cross-contamination between patients
Porous or coated surfaces trap bacteria and biofilm, making disinfection between appointments slower and less reliable.
Staff back and shoulder strain
Fixed-height tables force technicians to bend over anesthetized animals for 30–90 minute procedures, a leading cause of clinic staff injury.
Slow turnover between appointments
Without a dedicated prep and bathing station, clinics lose time moving patients between multiple stations for cleaning, dental work, and surgery.
Corrosion from repeated disinfection
Daily exposure to chlorhexidine, bleach, and quaternary ammonium disinfectants degrades painted steel and plastic tables over 2–3 years.

Which Table Should Your Clinic Buy?
Answer these three questions to identify the right model for your workflow.
Running dental or surgical procedures longer than 30 minutes?
Choose the VE01 for its heated surface and electric tilt, which help maintain patient temperature and surgical positioning during extended anesthesia.
Need a dedicated bathing, prep, or dental cleaning station?
Choose the VE02 for its deep stainless tub, dual-outlet faucet, and built-in drawer storage for supplies.
Multiple staff of different heights sharing one table?
Choose the VE03 for hands-free foot-pedal height adjustment from 50–107cm, reducing strain across shifts.
Why 304 Stainless Steel
All three tables are built from high-grade 304 stainless steel rather than painted steel or coated surfaces, which matters for clinics running multiple disinfection cycles per day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best veterinary surgical table for a small animal dental clinic?
For dental cleaning and prep, the VE02 Multi-Function Prep & Tub Table is best suited, since it combines a deep stainless steel basin, dual-outlet faucet, and drawer storage for dental instruments in one station. For dental procedures requiring anesthesia and longer chair time, the VE01 Electric Operating Table adds a heated surface and tilt adjustment.
What material should a veterinary surgical table be made of?
304 grade stainless steel is the standard material for veterinary surgical, prep, and treatment tables because it resists corrosion from daily disinfection with chlorhexidine and bleach-based solutions, has no seams or coatings that trap bacteria, and withstands repeated clinical use without degrading.
Do veterinary surgical tables need electric height adjustment?
Electric height adjustment reduces staff back and shoulder strain during procedures that last 30 minutes or longer, and it lets multiple staff members of different heights use the same table without manual cranking. The VE01 and VE03 models both offer electric height control; the VE03 also includes foot-pedal operation for hands-free adjustment.
What is the difference between an operating table and a treatment table for veterinary use?
An operating table, such as the VE01, is built for surgical procedures and includes features like a heated surface, tilt adjustment, and a four-point patient fastening system. A treatment table, such as the VE03, is designed for general exams, dental work, and minor procedures, prioritizing height adjustability and mobility over surgical-specific features.
How much space do I need for a veterinary prep and tub table?
The VE02 Multi-Function Prep & Tub Table is available in two sizes: a large option at 140×60×90cm and a small option at 120×60×80cm, allowing clinics to choose based on available floor space.
