A Mouth Speculum for Orogastric Administration ofCompounds to Nonhuman Primates.
A mouth speculum for orogastric administration of compounds to nonhuman primates is described here. The speculum allowed the passage of a feeding tube through the mouth of a macaque, while minimizing the risk of injury to the handlers fingers, teeth and gingival surfaces of the macaque, or feeding tube.
