PLAS-LABS Rabbit Restrainers are engineered to deliver superior safety, visibility, and ease of use in laboratory settings. Originally developed in research labs in the early 1970s, these restrainers were the first to utilize clear acrylic construction—providing full observation of the animal while helping maintain body warmth and reducing the risk of hypothermia.
Designed with both animal welfare and user safety in mind, the restrainers feature highly polished edges to prevent chafing, especially around the neck, and a non-slip surface that improves footing and helps keep the animal calm. The anatomically contoured, curved back butt plate minimizes the risk of back injury, while adjustable vertical head bars and a stainless steel pin system allow for precise, secure positioning.
Additional features include a rear access hole for procedures such as pyrogen testing (not available on model 501-TC), non-slip base pads for added stability, and compatibility with cage washers up to 180°F (82°C) or chemical sterilization methods.
Durable, reliable, and thoughtfully designed, PLAS-LABS Rabbit Restrainers provide a safe and effective solution for handling and observing research animals.
