I&#39;ve moved to using the V-Gel rabbit nowadays and while I don&#39;t do rabbit dentistry, my colleagues who do don&#39;t report any problems with the supraglottic device getting in the way.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/207541?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 30 Jan 2019 09:53:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e8306f4a-834a-44ac-8eb7-5d00188561dfMarie Kubiak<p>I had a colleague who swore by this technique and was very successful.
