The IITC Plantar Analgesia Meter for thermal paw can be used on 12 mice, 6 rats and other animals (cats, rabbits) unrestrained when testing for narcotic drugs. Experiments are easy to perform, simply slide the test head under test subject, align the heat source via our exclusive guide light (idle state) by the attached, adjustable, angled mirror on test head to test subject and perform tests.
Start, stop and reset of tests is done by either the pushbutton on test head, front panel controls or supplied footswitch.
With our exclusive “idle state” of the heat source one is assured of exact placement of the heat source as well as mirror which is placed on top of heat source. Tests are performed on the plantar surface by a focused, radiant heat light source. The light beam is focused to the top of the glass and creates a 4X6mm intense spot on the paw.
Our method of visible light is superior to the infrared light method, since a user will not always know exactly where/when the test will start, causing false starts and conditioning of animals. A built-in timer displays reaction time in .01 second increments.
The height of the glass is adjustable allowing the focal point of the light to be adjusted to stimulate other body parts if needed. A Humane cutoff timer is standard. The unit can be preset for a cutoff period, at the end of which the heat source shuts off automatically if the animal has not responded, avoiding tissue damage. Our test head does not emit , clicking or whining noises that cause preconditioning of animals prior to test as with other systems on the market.
Special Requirements: Medical equipment often has specific needs, such as temperature control or shock absorption. For example, certain medications must remain at a specific temperature throughout the supply chain. This may require insulated containers, refrigerated vehicles, and specialized warehousing.
Custom Packaging: Custom packaging solutions are essential for medical equipment. A professional crating company can provide protective packaging tailored to the unique requirements of each product. This can include foam packaging die-cut to the exact shape needed for the product.
Reusable Packaging: For regular shipments, reusable packaging can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. These crates can be assembled and disassembled without tools and can be fully customized.
International Shipping: When shipping internationally, it's important to be aware of customs regulations. Failure to comply can result in delays, returns, or fines. Professional shipping companies can help obtain the necessary permits and documentation.
Insurance and Tracking: Given the high cost and critical nature of medical equipment, insurance is essential. Tracking can also provide peace of mind and help prevent loss.
