Paw and Tail Pressure Meter – Randall Selitto
he Tail/Paw pressure test is based on determination of the animal threshold response to pain induced on the paw or on the tail by the application of a uniformly increasing pressure.
- Digital display
- Pressure increasing rate adjustment
- Foot-switch control
- New optional Data Transfer software SEDACOM 2.0
Electronic Von Frey
The electronic model of Von Frey filament combines ease of use and rapidity for the determination of the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodent.
- New easier and more comfortable Handle
- Provides objective and accurate data
- The threshold value can be obtained in only one test, and in a highly reproducible manner
- Elimination of the problems of filament standardization
- Stimulation of areas of equal size
- The end-point value is automatically recorded
- Real time force curves in BIOCIS software
Pincher Test
The “Rodent Pincher” algometer allows calibrated forceps to induce quantifiable mechanical stimulation in the animal (rats or mice) on a linear scale.
- More ethical handling, less stressful for the animal (rat or mouse) resulting in less variable measurements
- Faster measurement, less traumatic for the tissues
- Digital measurement with metrological traceability
SMALGO System
The Small animal ALGOmeter (SMALGO) system is a quick and reliable instrument to assess threshold sensitivity of the animal when applying a progressive force. A MUST for osteo-arthritis and pain studies!
- Easy to use and reliable
- Works for both rats and mice
- Can be used to determine pain threshold with a progressive force
- Can be used to screen drugs with a given force
Dynamic Plantar Anesthesiometer
The Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer has been designed to assess “touch sensitivity” on the plantar surface of the rodents.
- Automatic detection of animal response (no visual score needed)
- Consistent application of force at an adjustable rate (force ramp)
- Software included as standard
- Data Portability via the Memory-Key provided with the standard package
