Includes
- Homeothermic Controller
- Two Warming Pads
- Two Temperature Sensors
The Right Temp Homeothermic Warming System is a complete kit that allows you to accurately monitor and maintain animal core body temperature. Simply set your desired core body temperature and the system will automatically control the warming pad so the animal's core temperature never goes above or below your set temperature.
Included with the Right Temp are two warming pads and two temperature sensors The pads are 14" x 14" and 6" x 8", both ideal for mice, rats, and other small animals.
Multi-Functional controller gives you 3 options for use:
1. Control/Maintain core body temperature by using both sensors
2. Set desired pad temperature using the pad sensor only
3. Adjust pad temperature by changing the percentage of power to the pad using no sensors
Features of the Right Temp:
- Warm with or without sensors
- Configure up to 5 alarms
- Customize display
- Chart and view temperature readings for both pad and animal
- See the last 5 readings on the main screen
- Upload data to your computer
- Output data for use with strip chart software
The pads warm the animal through far infrared (FIR) warming. Far infrared light is absorbed by cells deep within the body of the animal which safely raise the core body temperature. FIR light warms the body without warming the air between the FIR source and the body. FIR is totally safe; in fact 80 percent of the sun’s rays are in the low energy, far infrared range. FIR waves resonate with organic matter and penetrate deep into the body. The energy level of water in the body’s cells is gently increased through “resonant absorption” warming the inside of the body. The body can absorb as much as 90 percent of FIR heat compared to only 20 percent with conventional warming pads. Studies have shown that FIR can maintain therapeutic temperatures longer when compared with conventional heating methods. Less warming is required with FIR than with conventional techniques. FIR allows researchers to safely warm animals for a longer period of time without unknowingly overheating the animal.
FIR warming increases body metabolism thereby discharging anesthetics and toxins, which aid in faster recovery from surgery.
Your animal can now be warmed over an extended period of time without having to constantly increase the temperature.
