ClearH2O: Medication Delivery
Medication delivery has traditionally been labor-intensive and sometimes counterintuitive to animal welfare objectives, requiring injections, handling, and restraint of research animals.
ClearH2O’s medication delivery products offer a more ethical alternative! All offer a convenient, efficient way to treat animals pre- and post-operatively. By eliminating the need to handle and restrain the animal to administer an injection, ClearH2O helps reduce the need for labor, reduce animal stress and improve compliance.
