Research Jackets and Restraint Products for Non-Human Primates
Ludomed manufactures high-performance restraint jackets and accessories tailored to the specific anatomical and behavioral needs of non-human primates (NHPs) used in preclinical and safety pharmacology studies. Designed for refinement, our garments are used in infusion, telemetry, post-operative care, and behavioral observation protocols.
Why Non-Human Primates in Preclinical Research?
Due to their genetic proximity to humans, non-human primates such as cynomolgus and rhesus macaques are used in pivotal preclinical studies involving CNS, cardiovascular, and immune system function. Their physiological complexity allows for predictive modeling in later-stage drug development, often requiring long-term catheterization, telemetry, or behavioral protocols.
Post-Operative Care
Garments are used to prevent interference with surgical sites or implanted devices.
Infusion Studies
Jackets provide secure containment of central venous catheter ports and protect access points during long-duration dosing.
Telemetry Monitoring
NHP jackets are often equipped with reinforced pouches or ports to hold transmitters or ECG lead systems.
Common Protocols Using Primates
FAQs for Primate Products
Q: Can jackets be adapted for different catheter routes (e.g., jugular, femoral)?
A: Yes. Ludomed offers custom port placements based on your surgical protocol.
Q: Are jackets suitable for long-term wear?
A: Yes. Our jackets are designed for durability and comfort in long-duration studies. We recommend using them with an undershirt for added skin protection.
Q: Do you provide sizing for different NHP species or ages?
A: Absolutely. We offer tailored sizing based on cynomolgus, rhesus, or other species. Juvenile and adult patterns are available.
