|
A quiet restraint technique should be applied to rats in case of repeated subcutaneous injection with irritable drug in order to maintain the convenience to handling. The holding method with hands or the restraint technique with a commercial restrainer for rat brought difficulty about injection. As a rodents have a behavior to like the darkness, we devised a simple restraint technique with fenestrated drapes, in which a restrainer covered a rat with the cloth to feel relief, firstly, and pressed the cloth with ´C´-shape hands except for central hole exposing the rat skin for subcutaneous injection. Although a restrainer was a novice, it was easy to practice and maintained the rat gentleness. Also this method could be applied in other injection as intramuscular, intravenous injection and in collection the blood at tail vein.
