Ludomed’s non-human primate (NHP) jackets are designed to support a wide range of preclinical research applications, with a focus on infusion procedures, surgical recovery, and long-term monitoring. These restraint jackets are essential for safely managing primates during complex protocols, offering a balance of secure containment and animal comfort.
Tailored specifically for macaque species — including rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys — our NHP jackets ensure anatomical compatibility and optimal fit. Each jacket is reinforced to withstand movement and designed to protect devices, implants, or surgical sites from manipulation or accidental dislodgment.

Primate Jacket
-
Breed-specific design ensures optimal coverage of the monkey's body, making each jacket suitable for primates of varying sizes and shapes.
-
Double-layered polyester/nylon mesh - breathable and lightweight, enhances airflow and temperature regulation, providing a comfortable monkey vest for extended use.
-
Spandex fabric V-collar - provides additional comfort and prevents damage from gnawing, critical for non-human primates.
-
Spandex fabric underarms - facilitate the arms' natural movement and reduce the risk of chafing during activity.
-
Hook and loop fasteners - allow for a better fit around the monkey's neck and abdomen, ensuring the restraint jacket stays secure.
-
Nylon/spandex fabric inserts - protect the 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, ensuring the monkey jacket remains functional through rigorous use.
-
Stainless steel slider hooks and D-rings - help deter animal manipulation and ensure no rust after washing.
- Made in Canada.
