CurVet Rat Training Simulator

SKU:
CURVET-

The CurVet Rat Training Model is a purpose-designed training aid that enables students and researchers to develop humane animal handling and procedural skills without the use of a live animal. Made from a high-quality, latex-free material, the model provides a lifelike feel and realistic tactile response that closely mimics a living specimen.

Ideal for veterinary schools, biomedical research facilities, laboratory animal training programs, and technical education, the CurVet Rat Training Model helps users gain confidence and procedural competency while minimizing stress to both animals and handlers.

Features:

  • Realistic, latex-free dermatological skin with lifelike tactile sensitivity
  • Adult rat size and weight (approximately 300 g)
  • Flexible head, spine, and rear limb movement
  • Lateral and ventral head movement
  • Hard palate with realistic incisors
  • Realistic eyes, forelimbs, hind limbs, anus, and rectum
  • Limited rectal aperture for clinical or digital thermometer placement
  • Durable construction designed for repeated training use

Suitable for Training:

  • Handling and restraint techniques
  • Scruffing (when required)
  • Oral administration
  • Microchip identification
  • Injections by most conventional routes
  • Blood collection
  • Intravenous tail vein injections
  • Flexible catheter (Angiocath) insertion
  • Thermoregulation monitoring using clinical or digital thermometers

Realistic Tail System:

The removable tail features two lateral tail veins, making it ideal for practicing:

  • Blood sampling
  • Intravenous administration
  • Flexible catheter insertion (Angiocath)

The tail is manufactured from a self-sealing material for extended service life. Replacement tails are available separately, and artificial non-toxic blood can be purchased for enhanced training realism.

Easy to Clean:

The deliberate absence of fur allows the model to be easily cleaned and disinfected using appropriate chemical sterilants, making it ideal for repeated classroom or laboratory use.

Designed for Humane Training:

The CurVet Rat Training Model is a professional educational simulator—not a toy. It was specifically developed to replace the use of live animals for initial skills training, allowing users to build manual dexterity and confidence before performing procedures on live animals. This approach supports ethical training practices while reducing stress for both animals and handlers.
