When various experimental procedures are conducted using laboratory animals, it is important to restrain the animal properly and to develop techniques that will meet the necessary experimental objectives. The beginner can learn the techniques of proper holding, peroral feeding, tail vein injection and blood collection, and endotracheal intubations.

Characteristics: • The pharynx, larynx, trachea, stomach, and the tail vein are anatomically correct and replicated inside the model of the rat. • To achieve a texture similar to that of a live rat, original silicone and soft vinyl chloride are used. • When placed in position, the posture is the same as that of a live rat. • The dosage in the stomach can be confirmed because part of the abdomen is transparent. • The insertion of a needle into the tail vein can be confirmed by the reflux of the imitation blood. Techniques: • Retention • Peroral dosage • Tail intravenous dosage and blood collection • Endotracheal intubation
