The Tailveiner® is the first complete line of easy-to-use mouse and rat restrainers specifically designed for tail vein injections. The Tailveiner is the fastest restrainer yet for intravenous injections in small animals. The open slot in the top of the tube facilitates animal placement. A thumbscrew secured stopper option is also supplied, which provides improved breathing and comfort. The animal is then restrained by a plug which slides easily to accommodate any size rat or mouse, but locks automatically when handle is released. After dosing, the handle is lifted and the plug is easily removed.
The red tube is transparent, allowing the investigator to observe the animal inside for normal body position and breathing. Improved comfort for rats and mice during acute experimental procedures without sacrificing safety or welfare.
