2500 | Digital Paw Pressure Randall Selitto Meter |
2600 | Pressure Applicator Only |
2650 | Stand and Sling |
This hand held instrument applies a force to the extremity of the test subjects. “Live” readings are provided of whatever force is applied at any moment with “Peak and Hold” showing the last maximum force applied during the test. Additional “Pressure Applicators” available.
A footswitch is provided to reset the reading which allows “hands free operation”.
An acrylic stand comes standard with the equipment which allows easy viewing of information on the portable electronics. Power 9V battery (with approximately 50 hours of operation or the power adapter both supplied standard.
Hand held probe weighs a mere three ounces with an accuracy of 0.5%. A test weight is supplied for accuracy check. No calibration required.
Probe has a spring load for easy opening and closing of pressure applicator. To use the pressure applicator the probe is placed under the paw, close the pressure applicator, upon reaction the electronic unit will capture and store the pressure in grams to view and store. A flat surface is opposite of the probe tip to allow comfort and ease of operation. This test in our new form allows quick testing when the Randall Selitto method is needed.

What is the Digital Randall Selitto?
It is the first commercially available system in the world that finally allows automatic pressure readings of the paw pressure test. You are no longer required to perform this test in a cumbersome manner. A simple pressure applicator is all that is needed which is connected to the electronics. apply the pressure and upon reaction release the applicator and your display will show the pressure in grams.
Can it be used on mice and rats?
Yes.
Xperiment Girl’s past was shrouded in mystery until now. Xperiment Girl was originally the international respected Dr. Gene Knockout researcher extraordinaire, a living legend working out of her hidden Nerve Center at IITC. For most of her career, Xperiment Girl worked with inferior equipment resulting in bad data.
Teaching the fine art of mastering and measuring accurately tail cuff blood pressure on mice, rats and all other animals, Xperiment Girl in turn intrigued by pain and how she could assist in superior equipment in the field of pain tolerance, fascination/became obsessed with solving poor test data from inferior equipment.
