Oscillometric blood pressure monitor MRBP

The original mouse and rat tail cuff BP systems from the lab of Xperiment Girl - IITC Rat/Mouse Tail Cuff Blood Pressure systems We have been supplying our tail cuff systems for 51 years to the global research community studying the effect of blood pressure on every animal from mice up to monkeys. The only validated method/data of tail cuff blood pressure measurement when compared to both telemetry and direct blood pressure. All of the IITC Life Science tail cuff method blood pressure analysis systems allow researchers to quickly, and accurately obtain blood pressure measurements at the lowest recommended temperatures. MRI and anesthetized compatible for any animal. Systems use a highly sensitive photoelectric sensor for detection of blood pressure pulses. Our method is the only method that allows researchers to measure blood pressure at the lowest ambient temperature which is 32°C. All others require high temperatures (36-40°C) which can cause undue thermostress and inaccurate data. The only validated method which enables researchers to monitor, record, store and export blood pressure readings automatically with our software. The software will show you in real time systolic, diastolic, mean and heart rate and allows complete control of system. Systolic is measured not “calculated/estimated” as with other systems on the market. A critical part of the process is the placement of the inflation and detection cuff onto the test subject. While others subject the researcher and test subject to two separate cuffs, we have combined both cuffs into our single tail cuff sensor. This technology eliminates the need for restraining the animal's tail and creating undue stress. The comfort of the test subject is most critical in collecting Non-Invasive blood pressure data for mice and rats. Our warming chambers create a complete environment of controlled temperature as opposed to radiating heat from a platform or blowers. The result of our method is a reduction in thermostress which can lead to inaccurate data.
