Plas Labs Animal Restrainer Max Weight 4 kg 6 x 18 x 6 in.

Plas Labs 502-AR/NS Adjustable Animal Restrainer (Up to 4 kg)

The Plas Labs 502-AR/NS is a high-quality, professional-grade animal restrainer designed for the secure and humane immobilization of research animals weighing up to 4 kg. Measuring 6 x 18 x 6 inches, this unit is constructed from optically clear, heavy-duty cast acrylic, allowing for 360-degree visibility and easy monitoring of the subject during procedures. The "Adjustable" (AR) design features a sliding head-gate that can be positioned and locked to accommodate varying animal lengths, ensuring a snug and safe fit. With its non-slip (NS) base and precision-machined access ports, the 502-AR/NS is an essential tool for veterinary research, pharmaceutical testing, and physiological monitoring where stable positioning is required for injections, blood draws, or clinical observations.

Technical Performance and Design

• Fully Adjustable Head-Gate: Features a precision-sliding acrylic gate that allows researchers to customize the internal length of the restrainer to fit the specific size of the animal, preventing unnecessary movement.

• Optically Clear Acrylic: Manufactured from high-purity cast acrylic, providing undistorted observation of the animal's behavior, respiratory rate, and physical condition during the study.

• Tail Access & Ventilation: Engineered with a specialized tail-slot for easy access for blood sampling or intravenous infusions, complemented by strategic ventilation ports to ensure adequate airflow and prevent animal overheating.

• Non-Slip (NS) Construction: The unit is equipped with a stable, non-slip base to ensure it remains stationary on the laboratory bench or workstation during use.
