Rodent Surgical Monitor+ (RSM+)

Manufacturer: Scintica Instrumentation

Description

The Rodent Surgical Monitor+ (RSM+) from Scintica Instrumentation is an integrated system for monitoring vital signs and providing thermal support during surgical procedures on small laboratory animals. It combines essential functions into a single platform to support anesthetic stability and animal welfare. The system typically includes components for monitoring parameters such as electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, respiration rate, and body temperature. A key feature is its surgical warming element, which helps maintain a stable core body temperature to prevent hypothermia, a common risk during lengthy procedures. By consolidating monitoring and warming, the RSM+ aims to streamline the surgical setup, reduce the number of separate instruments required, and provide a more controlled environment for preclinical research involving rodents. This integrated approach can aid in improving procedural consistency and animal recovery outcomes.
