The Ludo Collar by Ludomed is a specialized solution that merges the secure fit of a rodent jacket with the protective function of an Elizabethan collar. Designed in collaboration with laboratory experts, this innovative product helps prevent rats and mice from accessing wounds, removing sutures, or interfering with surgical sites or attached medical devices.
 
Its tailored fit supports proper restraint without compromising comfort, enabling safer post-operative care and minimizing risk in preclinical protocols involving rodents.
 
The Ludo Collar accounts for the natural range of motion of rats while restricting access to critical sites. Its dual functionality simplifies protocol logistics by combining two restraint tools into one, aligning with refinement principles by reducing equipment changes and handling time.
