SGP-3

Head Holding Device for rats, MRI-compatible (Narishige)
Description

Head holder for rats, for narrow space in an MRI scanner.

This head holder comes with a holder and a base of 100 % plastic and is used in MRI. The animal's head can be firmly held in place at three-points (mouth, nose and ears). The size of the SGP-3 for rats is kept to just under 70 mm when the holder is detached from the base. If an MRI scanner has a small opening, the animal can be held in place to pass through the scanner. This allows measurements even when using small MRI scanners. The SGP-3 is for rats and the SGP-4 is for mice.

Note: The anesthetic mask (GM-3) cannot be attached to this head holder.  SGM-3 is available.
