Preclinical Research Products for Guinea Pigs
Ludomed provides tailored jackets and restraint accessories for guinea pigs used in regulated preclinical protocols. Our garments are designed to support dermal testing, infusion studies, and post-procedural recovery while prioritizing animal comfort and minimizing stress.
Why Guinea Pigs in Preclinical Research?
Guinea pigs are commonly used in dermal sensitization, respiratory, and immunological studies due to their predictable response to allergens and their suitability for repeated topical applications. Their size and docile temperament also make them ideal for controlled testing environments where stress minimization is critical.
Dermal Sensitization & Irritation
Guinea pigs are frequently used to assess the skin’s reaction to test substances applied over time.
Aerosol & Inhalation Exposure
While not jacket-reliant, collars may be used to prevent grooming or scratching post-exposure.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Jackets and collars protect treatment areas or minor surgical wounds during recovery monitoring.
Common Protocols Using Guinea Pigs
FAQs for Guinea Pig Products
Q: Are jackets reusable in multi-phase protocols?
A: No. Due to wear, contamination risk, and stress factors, jackets should be replaced after each protocol.
Q: Do jackets accommodate very small guinea pigs (<400g)?
A: Yes. We offer size-adjusted builds for small juveniles or strains with lower body mass.
Q: Can I use jackets in respiratory exposure studies?
A: Jackets are not used during exposure but may be worn post-procedure to protect treatment sites or catheter areas.
