Ludomed’s dog jacket with an integrated infusion pocket is engineered to support ambulatory infusion studies in dogs, especially in group-housed settings. The jacket features a rigid plastic compartment that houses devices such as infusion pumps, protecting them from interference, manipulation, or removal.
Built for resilience, this jacket addresses one of the most persistent challenges in canine infusion protocols, maintaining device integrity under active conditions.
Key Applications
Continuous intravenous infusion studies in dogs.
Ambulatory drug delivery in single or group-housed conditions.
Veterinary procedures require secure device positioning.
Device protection during extended pharmacological studies.
Anatomical & Study Considerations
Designed specifically for medium-to-large dog breeds typically used in preclinical studies (e.g., Beagle, Labrador-type). The rigid pocket is strategically placed to prevent shifting, even in active, group-housed settings. This minimizes stress, preserves infusion line integrity, and enhances reproducibility.
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Prevents direct skin contact with devices.
Reduces risk of chewing, pulling, or pressure-induced lesions.
Designed to allow the dog to move naturally and lie down comfortably.
Supports ethical research practices with durable and humane restraint solutions.
Ordering & Customization
Standard sizes are based on common laboratory breeds. Custom jacket dimensions or pocket placement are available for different dog sizes or pump models. Contact us with your protocol and device requirements to request a tailored version.
Dog Jacket with Pocket, Ambulatory Infusion
POCKET
- Detachable YKK® #5 brass zipper – designed for strength and durability, makes pocket easy to put on and take off.
- Transparent window – allows technicians to spot a pump malfunction quickly.
- Coated nylon fabric finish - protects infusion equipment against extreme housing conditions.
- Stainless steel slider hooks and D-rings – help deter animal manipulation—no rust after washing.
- Custom protective foam – fits the infusion pump snugly and prevents the pump from shifting as dogs move.
JACKET
- Breed-specific design ensures optimal coverage of the dog's body.
- Double layered polyester/nylon mesh - breathable and lightweight, enhances airflow and temperature regulation.
- Nylon/spandex fabric trim - provides increased comfort for upper arms and elbows.
- Cotton fabric sleeves (optional) - offer extra warmth and equipment protection.
