Abstract: | Rabbits are the experimental animals of choice in many studies including flaps, wounds, and topical trials for new pharmacological
agents. Because the topical drugs and other materials used for dressing are irritating to the animal, they tend to remove
dressings, bandages, drapes, insensate flaps, and also topical drugs by scratching, licking, and biting if they are within
the reach of the animal. In this study, we report an easy to prepare, user-friendly, comfortable, and cheap dressing protector
called a dressing shield to prevent these problems. |
