[A new method for enteral self administration of psychotropic drugs in the rhesus monkey (author's transl)]. 1979

K Littmann, and J M Heredia, and F Hoffmeister

This surgical method for the parenteral self administration of psychoactive substances in the Rhesus monkey is a modified gastrostomy. Success is warranted with a catheter-model which can be fixed at the inner wall of the abdomen. The catheter is placed subcutaneously until it leaves between the shoulders. Additionally all monkeys received leather corsets. This method has proved to be very safe in long-time self administration of drugs in the Rhesus monkey.
