Ultrawave do a good range, can buy direct and have a large range of sizes to suit. Fairly basic but do the job. Google them.

Remember, just because they buzz doesn't mean they're cleaning. Do a foil test periodically, just take a piece of regular kitchen foil, submerge and run cleaner for 5 mins. Remove, hold up to light - should have uniform perforations across the surface. Simples!

that would be great- things in our practice are much better off if they score highly on the 'bounce factor' (and that includes the animals )- butterfingered vets aren't usually allowed to touch things but whilst the nurses are away..........
