ABSTRACT:
A laboratory instrument and method used by a technician to gain access to vessels and tissues within the tail of an animal. The instrument includes a restrainer to restrict movement of the animal's body. A window supports the animal's tail. A light positioned opposite the window from the tail transilluminates the tail making the vessels and tissues therein visible. The vessels are dilated by heating the animal's body. Cannulating the vessels provides access thereto. The instrument is particularly useful for intravenous administration of drugs to rodents used in pharmocologic testing.
