The restrainers for rodents are manufactured from Perspex cylinders mounted on a flat black Perspex base. All the models have free access through both extremes, by opening the respective tilting door that is fixed by a screw at the upper part of the restrainer.
The animals can be immobilised by sliding the doors along the restrainer. A slot in the base of the door allows for the whole tail to be available for the pulse transducer and cuff installation, the i.v. drug administration or the blood extraction.
The easy operation of the doors and its disposition in the extremes of the restrainer make the manipulation of the animal convenient and avoid the animal to be dragged backwards, protecting it from injuries in the feet.
Available in six different sizes, the restrainers cover all the range of rats & mice.
