Installation
The headbars can be securely affixed using a specialized adhesive, avoiding the need for complex mounting procedures or extra tools. We provide a free detailed surgical protocol. It includes step-by-step instructions for surface preparation, adhesive application, and best practices to ensure a secure and consistent fixation.
Animal Comfort
The design minimizes interference with the home cage environment. The smooth, compact form prevents snagging or obstruction, allowing the animal to move freely and reducing stress. This helps maintain consistent and ethical research conditions.
