Ludomed guinea pig restrainers are specifically designed to provide safe and effective immobilization during routine procedures such as oral dosing, eye or ear examinations, blood sampling, or feeding.
 
This common guinea pig handling and restraint method, often referred to as a "guinea pig burrito" or "guinea pig snuggle," significantly reduces stress and minimizes the chance of escape, ensuring both animal welfare and handler safety.
 
Key Applications:
Oral, intravenous, or intraperitoneal dosing.
Tail vein injections or blood collection.
Imaging (e.g. PET/MRI) requiring motion reduction.
Post-operative monitoring or device stabilization.
Minor procedures under light anesthesia.
Short-term restraint for behavioral or reflex assessments.
 
Animal Welfare and Refinement (H3):
Snuggle restrainers are designed with the 3Rs in mind, particularly refinement, to:
Reduce the use of sedatives or anesthesia in short procedures.
Improve acclimatization and handling success rates.
Minimize the physiological impact of restraint on research data.
Facilitate safe handling in group-housed settings.
