The traumatic brain injury device is used in brain injury research. It uses a standard metal head to impact the head of small rodents, which can control the depth of cortical depression. The depth range is 0 to 3.5mm, increasing by 0.01 millimeters. The traumatic brain injury instrument is applied in neuroscience research to create highly reproducible large and mouse models of traumatic brain injury.
1、 Introduction:
The traumatic brain injury device is used in brain injury research. It uses a standard metal head to impact the head of small rodents, which can control the depth of cortical depression. The depth range is 0 to 3.5mm, increasing by 0.01 millimeters. You can choose the running speed and dwell time of the impact head by yourself.
The traumatic brain injury device is equipped with a Knof locator for immobilizing rodents. The controller has a display screen and does not require additional computer software control. The system displays the velocity, dwell time, and depth of cortical depression at the moment of impact. Based on these parameters, a highly reproducible damage model can be created.
The system adopts a sensor contact mechanism to reliably detect the cortical surface before the impact procedure begins, which helps to create highly reproducible brain injury models.
