Paw Pressure Analgesia Meter
FOR SCREENING OF ANALGESIC AND ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS ACCORDING TO THE RANDALLSELITTO TEST
The Randall & Selitto test is based on determination of the animal threshold response to pain induced in the paw by the application of a uniformly increasing pressure.
In the PPA01-LI paw-pressure, a stimulation unit allows the gradual increase (at selectable rates) of the pressure applied on the animal paw. The pressure increase is achieved by a step-motor inducing the progressive advancement of a sliding support with a distal conic tip (1 mm diameter).
The conic tip point is mounted on a load cell, making it possible the visualize on the digital display of the current force applied at each moment of the test (grams). The motor and tip units are mounted on a pivoting stand, preventing any excess pressure on the animal’s paw.
A remote foot-switch controls the motor turn on/off allowing rapid hands-free experiments.
