What Dr. Laura Catena learned from a very nasty cat bite

Veterinarians have an important role to play when it comes to improving the welfare of animals.  Despite being one of the most coveted professions, there are challenges that veterinarians must have to deal with from time to time.  Many have to remind themselves to exercise caution at the workplace while at the same time putting in place the right measures to prevent animal-related injuries.  Even though this might not seem like the most pertinent topic of discussion, it is certainly vital to the longevity of their career. 

 Fortunately, veterinarians are already offering a helping hand in making the profession better.  One such veterinarian is the renowned Dr. Laura Catena.  A loving mother who likes spending time with her children, the life of Dr. Laura almost came to a standstill after getting a bite while working as an emergency medicine vet.  She was forced to make do with severe joint pain and it was not until having an extensive surgery and months of physical therapy that she was able to regain proper function of her hand.  Now her life is back on track and doing what she loves the most, treating animals. 

To prevent other veterinarians from suffering the same fate, Dr. Laura developed gloves that protect against animal-related injuries.  This remarkable glove, The ArmOR Hand Gloves, guarantees a safe and proper animal restraint technique.  Some might wonder how this is possible.  Well, the gloves offer maximum protection to the wearer while at the same time facilitating the restraint of the animal.  This is possible since they allow sufficient flexibility and dexterity.

Dr. Laura Catena is a true embodiment of veterinarians who are looking forward to making the profession better.  Her innovation work will go a long way in supporting the One Health Mission.  Well, the industry needs such smarts to ensure safety of our veterinary teams.
