Description

The mini osmotic pump has become the best tool for continuous dose of unrestrained laboratory animals. It can be implanted

subcutaneously or intraperitoneally in animals. Minimizes side effects and experimental variables, and reduces the risk of

stress due to frequent animal handling. And it is used for continuous delivery of a wide range of drugs, including antibodies,

growth factors, cytokines, chemotherapeutics, addictive drugs, hormones, steroids and more.

The RWD Osmotic Pumps consist of three concentric layers: the inner drug reservoir the osmotic layer, and the outer. When the

pump is implanted water is absorbed through the outer membrane. The water entering the pump expands the osmotic layer,

which compresses the flexible, impermeable reservoir.

Advantages

• Animals are dosed continuously at the predetermined dose for extended periods, including nights and weekends;
• Easy to use, without complex programming or software to learn;
• Once implanted, they operate unattended for durations up to 4 week, eliminating the need for repetitive dosing & frequent animal handling;
• Small size, available for use in mice, rat and larger animals;
• Catheter attachment enables direct administration of agents into a specific organ or tissue.
