Ludomed rabbit jackets are purpose-built to provide gentle restraint and protect sensitive areas during toxicology, pharmacokinetic, and surgical studies. Engineered with a focus on comfort, anatomical fit, and procedural efficiency, these jackets support compliance with research protocols while prioritizing animal welfare.
Our jackets are tailored to fit the New Zealand White rabbit strain, one of the most commonly used in preclinical and pharmacological research. This precise fit ensures the restraint is effective without causing unnecessary stress or interference with natural posture.
Key Applications
Surgical recovery and wound protection.
Prevention of catheter or device removal.
Intravenous infusion or dosing studies.
Longitudinal pharmacokinetics or toxicology protocols.
Behavioral studies requiring safe physical restraint.
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Designed according to the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement).
Reduces the need for repeated interventions and re-dosing.
Promotes healing through non-invasive restraint.
Enhances animal comfort and minimizes handling stress.
Transparent materials and ergonomic patterns support monitoring.
Ordering & Customization
Standard sizes are available based on weight and strain. For custom dimensions, please contact us with specific animal data or protocol requirements. Jackets can also be customized with infusion pockets, Velcro windows, or attachment rings for advanced applications.
Rabbit Jacket
