Animal Jacket Customization

The early use of jackets for laboratory animals began in the late 1940s through to the 1960s and was centered mainly on early space flights. Today, the use of jackets covers a broad range of research disciplines, in particular intravenous infusion. In the past few years, several factors have combined to enable new technologies to be adopted within the lab animal field including:

• Housing in group or social settings
• The miniaturization of devices
• Increased computing power giving us light weight devices capable of all types of physiological measurements

Continued developments in behavioral management programs now include comprehensive acclimation of animals to jackets and equipment. With functional textiles, as well as new materials and fasteners, designs can keep pace with these latest advances and may be quickly adapted for best practices.
