Ludomed’s rabbit jackets with pockets are designed to combine secure restraint with targeted device placement for advanced preclinical applications. Built upon our standard rabbit jacket design, this version includes a dedicated fabric pocket, enabling the safe positioning of infusion pumps, telemetry devices, or other small instruments on the rabbit’s body.
These jackets are made to fit the New Zealand White rabbit strain and offer enhanced functionality while preserving the comfort, breathability, and procedural reliability required in regulated studies.
Key Applications
Secure placement of infusion pumps or telemetry units.
Chronic dosing studies requiring externalized pumps.
Post-operative recovery with attached monitoring devices.
Surgical protection with instrument support.
Behavioral and metabolic studies requiring restraint plus monitoring.
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Prevents direct skin contact with devices.
Allows device monitoring without removing the jacket.
Soft inner linings reduce friction and skin irritation.
Ordering & Customization
Available in multiple sizes based on rabbit weight. Pockets can be custom-sized or repositioned based on your device specifications. Please contact us with your protocol needs for tailored designs.
