Rita Rhesus
Rita enables lifelike training in blood sampling and injections as well as the insertion of venous catheters on the hind leg of an adult rhesus monkey.
Developed with the German Primate Center, Göttingen.
Monkey Leg Rita
Our Rita enables the practical training of invasive injection techniques in adult rhesus monkeys. The integrated hip joint allows the handling and fixation of the thigh to be simulated under practical conditions.
On the inside of the thigh, blood samples and injections can be carried out on the femoral vein in a lifelike manner. It is also possible to apply venous catheters to the skin-like vein module. The anatomical position between the two muscle bellies is faithfully recreated. In addition, the course of the saphenous vein on the lower leg is visualized in a congested state.
With the solid holder, Rita can be used on the go and offers optimal grip on smooth surfaces with the integrated suction cups. The vein module can be removed if necessary and replaced in a few simple steps.
