Ludomed’s primate jackets with tether integration are designed to support continuous intravenous infusion studies in non-human primates. Built upon our core NHP jacket model, these garments include a securely sewn tether end-plate to facilitate connection to swivel systems and infusion setups.
This model includes sleeves for full-body coverage and is tailored for cynomolgus and rhesus macaques. The tether plate is precisely positioned and reinforced to support long-term wear, ensure stable infusion conditions, and enhance procedural consistency in regulated studies.
Key Applications
Chronic intravenous infusion protocols
Pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicokinetics (TK) requiring tethered access.
Post-operative studies with central catheter maintenance.
Long-term telemetry studies with tether/swivel integration.
Safety and restraint during metabolic, behavioral, or neurology research.
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Allows safe tether connection without external adhesives or wraps.
Minimizes risk of catheter dislodgement or self-injury.
Reduces the need for repeated restraint or re-jacketing.
Custom-fit to species-specific anatomical needs.
Ordering & Customization
Tether plate dimensions and placement can be customized upon request. Optional modifications include sleeveless versions, mesh side panels, limb loops, or multiple tether openings. Contact us with your study protocol to request a tailored solution.
NHP Jacket with Tether End Plate
- Breed-specific design ensures optimal coverage of the monkey's body.
- Double layered polyester/nylon mesh - breathable and lightweight, enhances airflow and temperature regulation.
- Spandex fabric V-collar - provides additional comfort and prevents damage from gnawing.
- Spandex fabric underarms - facilitate arms' natural movement and reduce the risk of chafing.
- Nylon/spandex fabric inserts - protect skin from chafing. Chafing may occur on animal body parts that rub against the jacket zipper, such as the neck/jowl and the upper back.
- YKK® #5 brass zipper – designed for safety and durability.
- Stainless steel slider hooks and D-rings - help deter animal manipulation - no rust after washing.
- Hook and loop fasteners - allow for better fit around monkey's neck and abdomen.
- 304 stainless steel Tether End Plate fixed and sewn on the jacket - allows for quick, easy connection of the jacket to infusion equipment.
- Made in Canada.
