Clamshell Restrainer

The Clam Shell Restrainer is a unique device for rodents where the head cannot be placed in a standard restrainer.

This is another unique design only from Kent Scientific. The clamshell restrainer has the features needed for demanding research. The restrainer telescopes, so it can be adjusted for long or short animals. The front neck plates are thin and have a V shaped slot, as the top plate is pushed down, it quickly adjusts to the proper size of the neck to restrain the animal.

The main tube of the restrainer is hinged and completely opens. The animal can quickly and easily be placed in the restrainer without disturbing any connections or instruments on the head. The tail is also completely available for blood pressure measurements, blood samples, etc.

The RTBP031 Warming Pad and Controller can be added to the restrainer for warming the animal for tail blood pressure monitoring, tail vein sampling, or other procedures.
