These compact PET shipping systems transport one to three 3 cc or 5 cc syringes containing high-energy radionuclides such as FDG F-18. Syringes fit into the pigs with or without an attached needle. This system is designed to conserve space and minimize weight. An important feature is that the shipping container can be left at a convenient height while the pig (9 lb or 4.1 kg) can be easily removed from the container. The pig is then placed behind an L-Block for dose loading and unloading.

The Unit Dose Pig is encapsulated in high-impact polycarbonate and polypropylene, making the pig durable, easy to clean and compatible with automatic washing systems. A single twist opens or closes the pig, reducing handling time.
