Covance Infusion Harness™ for Rats and Mice

Instech's infusion harness combines the best features of jacket and button tethers. Like jacket tethers, the harness does not need to be surgically attached. However, its unique design offers a range of benefits over jacket tethers including longer life, lower stress, more normal body temperatures, improved air circulation for faster healing and easy size adjustment.

The tether consists of a soft molded elastomer saddle with a vented dome that protects the catheter, adjustable belly bands to secure the saddle to the animal, and standard stainless steel spring stock to protect the externalized catheter and transmit torque to a swivel.

In addition to the single piece tethers listed below, the harness are available in bulk, as replacement parts, or combined with other components in pre-assembled infusion kits. Also available in a configuration for rodent bile collection. A new variant, the Vascular Access Harness, permits quick and aseptic connection or disconnection of the tether.
