An improved rabbit restraint for chronic hind limb studies. 1985

R A Meals

With the use of an easily fabricated plastic tube restraint system, studies that require avoidance of weight-bearing can be performed on rabbits comfortably maintained with the hind limb immobilized for periods as long as six weeks.
