Snuggle

Small animals are prone to stress and require extra care in handling. Mechanical restraints frequently require the involvement of two personnel: one to restrain and one to perform. The resulting stress and discomfort for the subject can often jeopardize the efficiency of the procedure.

The “Snuggle Family” uses the principle of a cocoon rather than a rigid structure for immobilization. The multiple flaps perform two functions: They are adjustable around the subject for effective yet comfortable restraint, and positioned, or left open for access depending on the procedure. Both restraint and procedure can be carried out by one handler.

The LOMIR “Snuggle Family” is manufactured from flexible yet extremely durable canvas fabric. The fabric is coated with nylon to facilitate laundering for reuse. Wide flaps with velcro fasteners allow for maximum flexibility, ease of use and adjustment for fit between individual subjects. The “Snuggle Family” is available in different sizes for a complete range of animals including pregnant females.
