Ludomed’s rat Elizabethan collars are engineered to provide effective post-operative protection in preclinical research settings. These collars prevent rats from accessing surgical wounds, bandages, or externally attached devices, helping maintain study integrity and support animal recovery.
 
Each collar is designed with the proportions and activity levels of laboratory rat strains in mind, ensuring both secure fit and comfort for the duration of the procedure or recovery period.
 
Key Applications
Prevents self-grooming or wound disruption post-surgery.
Protects dermal treatment or catheter sites.
Useful in behavioral, dermatological, or infusion-based protocols.
Assists in reducing the need for reapplication of bandages or adhesives.
 
Anatomical Fit & Welfare Considerations
The collar is contoured to accommodate a rat’s cervical and thoracic regions, minimizing movement restriction while effectively limiting access to critical areas. Its design reduces the need for additional restraint or adhesives, aligning with refinement goals and improving procedural consistency.
