The economical mouse and rodent restrainer

[dave]

These tapered plastic film tubes provide quick and easy restraint of rats, mice and other small animals. I.P. injections can be made directly through the film! DecapiCones restrain post-decapitation kicking and prevent personal contact with feces and urine.

Do they make them bigger?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Very useful indeed!

They do any bunny size ones?

EDIT - great minds think alike, Kirsty

Universal Restrainer
Experiments are easier with this universal rat and mouse restrainer.
Adjustable: Unique spiral grip makes single-size
restrainers obsolete


Low Stress: Gentle, but secure. Rats and mice
can not turn or escape, natural posture maintained.


Easy to Use: Complete experimental access


Stable and Strong: Wide base stands up to daily use,
heavy construction


Easy to Clean: Opens fully, won't corrode, no blind ends.
Made of plastic and stainless steel.


Improved Technique: Save time and effort whenever you handle laboratory rats and mice. Have both hands free. Relax and avoid accidents, knowing your animals are gently but firmly restrained.

Rodent ECU™
The rodent ECU provides comfortable containment of experimental animals to facilitate repeated measurements of physiological and pharmacological parameters, NOT A RESTRAINER: rodents are pre-conditioned (trained) to accept appropriate periods of confinement in the ECU.
Conditions rodents for long experiments
Blood pressure, clearance, and metabolism studies are better and easier using the ECU.

The ECU consists of a molded Plexiglas canopy hinged to a Plexiglas base. The canopy has a tapered opaque plastic hood to protect the rodents from visual disturbances. Multiple slots and an end plate allow adjustment of the canopy length for rodent size and easy access to dorsal catheters and electrical leads. The base has a large through drilled slot for accessing ventral catheters, feces, and urine. Four comfortable slots are provided to support the feet. The ECU has been used for studies of anti-hypertensive drugs:development of hypertension as a function of age, renal and drug clearance studies, metabolism studies, and endocrinological studies. ECU units are tailored for different sizes of rodents as a function of body weight.

For the best results animal should be conditioned to appropriate periods of confinement in the Braintree Scientific ECU. This is easily achieved by introducing them to the ECU daily for increasing periods of time.

Alex: that is a work of warped genius, made me spit biscuit crumbs all over the monitor with laughing

 

[KirstyTL]

Sure makes for an interesting accessory...

I did the same as JB but wasn't eating biscuits!

Would send it to my cat loving GF but I'd like to sleep on a bed this weekend.
