Ludomed’s neoprene rat jackets are precision-engineered to provide additional thermal insulation and durability for preclinical research. Made from high-quality 5 mm thick neoprene fabric, this jacket is an alternative to our standard mesh or lycra designs,. This jacket  is ideal for environments requiring extra warmth, protection, or resistance to moisture.
 
This model is tailored to the anatomical structure of laboratory rat strains, ensuring a snug fit while allowing unrestricted mobility. Whether used in chronic studies, post-surgical care, or infusion setups, this jacket supports reliable data collection while enhancing animal comfort.
 
Key Applications
Post-operative care in colder or variable environments.
Telemetry or infusion studies with externalized lines or devices.
Dermal toxicity studies requiring enhanced site protection.
Behavioral or metabolic studies involving thermal sensitivity.
Protection from cage mates or excessive self-grooming behavior.
 
Animal Welfare & Refinement
Reduces shivering and cold-related stress in post-surgical rats.
Prevents direct contact between devices and skin.
Smooth edges and internal lining reduce risk of skin lesions.
Designed to meet GLP and institutional animal care standards.
 
Ordering & Customization
