Recovery/Nursery/Warming

Only available in Belgium

Features

For improving the temperature of weak animals or animals recovering after a surgical procedures, we have a flexible recovery system available. The system is based on the cage type IVS and can be used as a compact system with one or tow cages, placed on desk, table of other available space or delivered in a moveable rack.

A silicone rubber mat is placed on the heating plate at the bottom of the cage. This mat can be changed easily in order to minimize contct with an other mouse or rat in the cage after a period of recovery/nursery.

The heating plate on the bottom of the cage can be taken out through a slot at the short side of the cage. This slot is closed and the closure keeps the heating plate in place. The heating system is controlled by a heating Control Unit which is positioned on the top of the rack. The temperature range is 28°C- 42°C can be easily adjusted.

 

We have two options for the cover of the cage.

  1. A perforated polycarbonate plate covering the total opening of the cage. In this perforated plate is a small lid thad can be openen to be able to put the animal (or water and feed) into the cage. With this system the warmth will stay longer in the cage because the total openings ar smaller.
  2. A conventional wire lid. With this wire lid the animal is still in contact with the heating system via the silicone rubber mat. The warmth does not stay in the cage too long; it will go out through the wire lid.
