ABSTRACT:
An animal restraining jacket having openings in the abdominal, neck and arm areas along with a longitudinally extending slit to facilitate placement of the jacket upon a laboratory animal and securement thereon by attaching of a main fastening device which extends along the slit such as a zipper. A flap is positioned on the exterior of the jacket to define a pocket between the jacket and the flap and an access slot is defined in the jacket within the pocket to facilitate communication of a medical device such as a blood catheter from the pocket through the jacket to the interior area for direct access to the laboratory animal. The pocket includes a fastening device such as a zipper which is adapted to close the pocket to prevent infection or tissue damage resulting from an animal scratching or otherwise mishandling of the medical device such as the blood catheter. A cover flap is adapted to extend over the longitudinally extending fastening zipper to prevent tampering thereof by the laboratory animal. Members are included for adjusting the size of the neck aperture and the abdominal aperture and securement members are included for affixing the pocket and main fastening devices in the locked position in such a manner as to allow activities to be performed with respect to the laboratory animals without requiring removal of the animal restraining jacket worn.
