The restraint of rabbits in a special sling.
A special sling for the restraint of rabbits was developed for the investigation of the effects of continuous motion on the healing of intraarticular injuries. Studies of over 200 rabbits have demonstrated the sling restraint system to be effective and humane, with a restraint related mortality of less than 10%.
