Made of high-quality titanium, these headbars are almost 2 times lighter than a conventional steel bar (1.1 g/bar for standard). Every bar is inspected, and all sharp edges are filed to prevent any animal discomfort. The standard bars measure 25 × 3.2 × 3.2 mm and are compatible with the Mouse Head Fixation System and the Low Friction Rodent Driven Belt Treadmill with the Head Fixation Add-on. The flat bars are 1.0 mm thick and are also compatible with our systems. Make sure you confirm the compatibility using the compatibility chart below.
Multiple models are available; custom models are also possible. An additional cost of +100 USD is added. Price is based on mouse headbar size. For larger headbars or headplates, a custom quote is required—please contact us.

Titanium headbars present an optimal solution for research environments that require secure and reliable animal head fixation. Notably, their installation is straightforward. Thanks to their design, you can affix them easily using a simple adhesive application. This method eliminates the need for complex mounting procedures or additional equipment. To install, simply apply a specialized adhesive to the designated surface. This approach simplifies the process, ensuring a secure and stable fixation without requiring extra tools or hardware.
Furthermore, our installation protocol is available upon request. We invite researchers to contact us to receive comprehensive instructions and guidelines. The protocol includes detailed steps for adhesive application, surface preparation, and best practices for achieving a strong bond. By adhering to these instructions, researchers can ensure reliable and consistent results, reducing potential complications during installation.
Additionally, the design of our titanium headbars prioritizes animal comfort. Precisely engineered, they are dimensioned to prevent interference with the home cage environment. Consequently, the headbar does not become obstructed or stuck, allowing the animal to move freely within the cage. This smooth integration helps maintain a stress-free environment, which is essential for accurate and ethical research practices.
