The CurVet Rat is a simulator that provides an ethical and realistic alternative to the use of live rodents for training and teaching purposes.

Realistic dermatological skin, suitable for:
Injections by most conventional routes

The deliberate absence of fur enables this model to be cleaned and sanitised with an appropriate chemical sterilant

Head and spinal movement, including rear limbs:
Suitable for oral administration
Lateral and ventral head movement
Hard palate with incisors

Realistic removable tail with two lateral tail veins ideal for:
Blood sampling
Intravenous administration

Anus and rectum with limited aperature for thermoregulation monitoring i.e. clinical or digital thermometer
