Ludomed rat and mice restrainers  are designed to gently but effectively immobilize rodents during procedures that require minimal movement. Built for both routine and specialized tasks, these restrainers offer a refinement-friendly alternative to traditional rigid tubes, helping reduce stress and injury during handling.
 
This rodent restraint method, inspired by techniques like the "bunny burrito" or "snuggle wrap," prevents squirming and minimizes the risk of escape, ensuring both animal comfort and handler efficiency.
 
Key Applications
Oral, intravenous, or intraperitoneal dosing.
Tail vein injections or blood collection.
Post-operative monitoring or device stabilization.
Minor procedures under light anesthesia.
Short-term restraint for behavioral or reflex assessments.
 
Animal Welfare and Refinement
Snuggle restrainers are designed with the 3Rs in mind, particularly refinement, to:
Reduce the use of sedatives or anesthesia in short procedures.
Improve acclimatization and handling success rates.
Minimize the physiological impact of restraint on research data.
Facilitate safe handling in group-housed settings.
