The long-awaited rat model has joined the mouse tail vein simulator series, which has been well-received as a beginner-friendly tool for tail vein injection and blood sampling practice!
Tail venipuncture practice without using animals is possible, so the 3R principles are achieved!
Features
Features 1: Tail size and texture
The size is modeled after a 10 weeks of age rats, with a total tail length of 180 mm.
We produce this so realistic, that texture like the scale and color of the rat the same as rats, and the internal veins have a diameter of 1.0 mm at the base of the tail and 0.5 mm at the tip, which is closer to the size of a living organism.

Feature 2: Penetration feeling
The silicone has a unique firmness that you can feel with each injection, but when you insert the needle into the blood vessel, you can feel a smoothness same as real rats.
Trainee can inject more successful by being aware of that feeling, and the risk failure and injuring animals will decrease.

Feature 3: Repeated practice
There are many restrictions of practice using animals. In using simulators, practice is possible regardless of the number of injections, time, or place.
It is long enough to practice a lot of times by moving the injection site.

FAQ
Can it be used repeatedly? How many times can it be used?
In the video (in Japanese), it is explained that it can be used repeatedly. However, once the needle is inserted, a hole is created, so is it difficult to use repeatedly?
Can you tell me the price?
