Restraint devices and holders for rodents and small laboratory animals, for injection, blood collection, imaging and observation.
Holder size must match the animal — a restraint that is too large permits turning and injury, while one that is too small causes respiratory compromise. Ventilated designs and adjustable nose cones accommodate a weight range within a species. Acrylic holders allow visual monitoring throughout the procedure. All use should follow your institution’s IACUC-approved protocol, including limits on restraint duration and acclimatization requirements.
