Restraint for Mice and Rats
IITC carries seven different
sizes; the weight range is from neonate rats and adult
mice up to 1,000 gram rats. Only a mild soap and water
solution is to be used to clean the restrainers no ammonia
based products should be used.
IITC animal restrainers are
used with the noninvasive blood pressure systems for mice
and rats they can also be used for tail vein injections
or other studies where the animal needs to be restrained.
They
are constructed of sturdy clear, 1/4” wall acrylic. They have an adjustable
head gate and the end plate is removable by snaps. This
allows the animal to “walk-in” as opposed to
the traditional method of bootstrap holders where the animal
is physically forced into the restrainer backwards. The
backward forcing of animals causes severe trauma.
