Infusion jackets
Infusion jackets for laboratory animals.
What to look for
- A pocket positioned and sized for the pump you are actually using, not a generic pouch
- Pocket construction that protects the pump from biting and abrasion
- Polyester mesh with a cotton liner to limit chafing on long studies
- A fit snug enough that jacket movement cannot disconnect the infusion line
- Sizing by weight band, with the next size up available as the animal grows

Swine jackets are available in the same line. Sizing varies more by build than by weight, so specify girth as well.
Quote the jacket with the rest of the system
Send the species, the weight, and the pump and port you are running. We will specify the jacket configuration that fits, and quote it alongside the port, catheter and pump as one system, on one part list, from one supplier.
