Description
This Plethysmometer (Paw Edema) test serves to measure the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory agents to reduce edemic conditions. In use, the paw is inserted into water, contained in a special water cell of which the pressure is changed due to the immersion. This pressure change is calibrated in ml and shown on a special electronic monitor. This form of detection eliminates changes due to conductivity alterations at repeated insertions (found on comparable Plethysmometer units.) The measurments are shown on the units LCD readout in .1ml increments. The unit is stable and can be safely operated either on its own battery or on a line adapter at 9 or 12 V.
Features - No wetting solution needed
- One calibration/yr.
- Battery operated
