The IITC tail cuff’s have the ability to detect mouse tail cuff blood pressure or rat tail cuff blood pressure via the tail photoelectrically. The photoelectric sensor, light source and sensor are built into a one unit which attaches to any one of the IITC restrainers with nylon hand screws. All the sensors are nonmagnetic. They are extremely sensitive in detecting pulses due to IITC’s superior design and knowledge of mouse and rat blood pressure measurements. The ambient temperature that a reading can be taken starts at 30 degrees c. The maximum temperature needed for a test is usually 32 degrees c. for rats and 34 degrees c. for mice. The systolic readings are within five mmHg of Cannulation and Telemetry. (Validated)
IITC rodent restrainers are used with the noninvasive blood pressure tail cuff method systems for mice and rats they can also be used for tail vein injections or other studies where the animal needs to be restrained.
