Rabbit Restraint Device with Adjustable Head Bar and Non-Slip Base for Laboratory Use

The Rabbit Restraint Device is designed for precise and safe immobilization of rabbits in laboratory and biotechnological settings. Constructed with clear acrylic, it aids in maintaining body warmth, thereby preventing hypothermia during procedures common in molecular diagnostics and gene editing workflows. Key features include:

• Highly polished edges to prevent chaffing, especially around the neck region, reducing animal stress during handling.
• Non-slip surface and base pads that provide secure footing, enhancing stability and safety critical for live-cell imaging and neuroimaging studies.
• Anatomically curved back butt plate that minimizes injury risk by supporting the rabbit’s spine ergonomically, essential in repeated bioprocessing manipulations.
• Adjustable vertical head bars, removable as needed, allowing customization for various restraining requirements in synthetic biology research or biomedical engineering.
• Rear access hole facilitating pyrogen testing protocols (except model 501-TC), crucial in molecular cloning workflows where sterility and contamination control are paramount.
• Stainless steel pin with multiple adjustment points for neck plates, enabling precise fitting tailored to individual subjects.
• The unit is sanitizable in a cage washer up to 82°C (180°F) or suitable for chemical sterilization, meeting stringent decontamination standards in biomanufacturing environments.

This device is widely adopted in facilities conducting biotechnology research, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering, where animal restraint stability and welfare directly impact experimental outcomes in areas like synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.
