Malvern, PA (July 24, 2020) – Trice Medical has partnered with Dr. Sherman Canapp and Dr. Debra Canapp at Canapp Sports Medicine LLC, to launch the world’s first veterinary portable tablet combining both a disposable needle arthroscope and high-quality ultrasound into one system.

“Partnering with Trice Medical has allowed us to deliver an innovative, affordable and portable diagnostic tool with excellent image quality to general and specialty veterinarians in both small animal and equine practice”, says the Canapps. “Veterinary medical advancement is insurmountable without the medical industry’s association, assistance and alliance. Trice Medical has been pivotal in this accomplishment.”
