Medication Delivery
A More Convenient , Ethical Way to Deliver Vital Medication to Research Animals
Medication delivery has traditionally been labor-intensive and sometimes counterintuitive to animal welfare objectives, requiring injections, handling, and restraint of research animals.
ClearH2O’s MediGel ® , MediDrop ® and LabGel ® Banana products offer a more ethical alternative! All offer a convenient, efficient way to treat animals pre- and post-operatively. By eliminating the need to handle and restrain the animal to administer an injection, ClearH2O helps reduce the need for labor, reduce animal stress and improve compliance.
