Ludomed’s dermal jackets for rats are purpose-built for dermal toxicity protocols, offering effective protection for treatment areas, wounds, and transdermal implant (TI) sites. These jackets prevent animals from reaching, scratching, or licking sensitive zones, ensuring cleaner data and smoother study progression.
 
Each jacket is anatomically tailored to accommodate various rat strains, including Sprague Dawley, Wistar, and Long Evans, and ensures comfort and security throughout the study duration.
 
Key Applications
Dermal Toxicity Studies: Prevents direct access to chemically treated or test exposure areas.
Wound Protection: Shields sutured or abraded skin from animal manipulation.
Bandage Retention: Maintains dressings and adhesives in place during healing.
Post-Treatment Observation: Allows continuous monitoring without external adhesives or tape.
Repeated Dosing Protocols: Reduces the need for reapplication of protective coverings.
 
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Designed in accordance with the 3Rs principles, Ludomed’s dermal jackets minimize stress by eliminating the need for adhesives or frequent handling. Jackets offer a snug but non-restrictive fit, reducing the risk of injury or irritation while maintaining protocol integrity.
 
Ordering & Customization
Available in small, medium, and large sizes corresponding to rat weight and strain. Jackets can be modified based on:
Dermal exposure location.
Use of TIs or external devices.
Material requirements.
