Overview
The Rodent Heating Pad is a selectable heating-pad and warming-blanket family for small-animal procedure stations. The configuration family covers compact mouse pads, standard mouse/rat pads, and larger customized blanket formats so the warming surface can be matched to animal size, surgical-table footprint, recovery setup, or cage-support workflow.
This page preserves the current ConductScience heating-pad URL while making the buying decision more explicit: choose the pad size and connector format first, then pair the pad with the compatible ConductScience thermal controller, rectal thermistor probe, anesthesia machine, surgical platform, or recovery support needed for the workflow. The 70 x 100 mm and 120 x 205 mm options use 5-pin connector planning, while larger customized formats use 2-pin connector planning.
The source-backed pad family includes 12V configurations across 70 x 100 mm, 120 x 205 mm, 150 x 250 mm, 120 x 400 mm, 200 x 350 mm, 300 x 500 mm, and 400 x 600 mm footprints. That range lets a lab standardize a mouse-only surgical station, a shared rodent bench, a larger recovery surface, or a cage-scale warming area without treating every pad size as a separate product page.
Scientific Use
Rodent warming is a core animal-support decision during anesthesia and surgery because small animals lose heat quickly when anesthetized, shaved, exposed, or positioned on a cool surgical surface. A properly sized heating pad supports normothermic station planning for stereotaxic preparation, catheter surgery, ischemia and cardiovascular model work, perfusion setup, imaging preparation, and postoperative recovery support.
Pad selection should be made around the animal model and the controller path. Smaller pads reduce unused heated area for mouse work, while larger pad and cage formats provide more surface area for rat, recovery, or multi-animal support. When tighter feedback is required, pair the pad with a controller and mouse or rat rectal thermistor probe selected around the study.
Buying Fit
Choose this page when the lab needs replacement or additional heating pads for a thermal-support station. Choose the Complete Thermal System when the controller, blanket, and rectal probe should be purchased as one kit, and choose the Water-Heated Small Animal Surgical Platform when the lab needs a pump-driven surgical platform rather than an electric heating blanket.

Practical Tips
Select the smallest pad that comfortably supports the animal and procedure area, then move up only when recovery, cage, or shared-station coverage needs more surface.
Why: Pad footprint changes heat transfer, bench fit, and how much warmed area sits outside the animal or surgical field.
Confirm 5-pin versus 2-pin connector requirements before adding replacement pads to an existing station.
Why: The source family separates standard mouse-scale pads and larger customized blankets by connector path.
Use probe-based controller feedback when the study requires core body-temperature maintenance rather than surface warming alone.
Why: A pad provides the warming surface; controller and rectal-probe selection determine the feedback workflow.

Compliance
Which heating pad size should I choose?
Choose 70 x 100 mm or 120 x 205 mm for compact mouse and mouse/rat procedure stations. Use the larger 150 x 250 mm, 120 x 400 mm, 200 x 350 mm, 300 x 500 mm, or 400 x 600 mm formats when the station needs broader recovery, cage, or shared-surface coverage.
Does the pad include the temperature controller?
This page is for the selected heating pad or blanket configuration. Pair it with the compatible ConductScience thermal controller and rectal probe when the workflow needs feedback-based temperature maintenance.
What is the difference between 5-pin and 2-pin options?
The source rows list 5-pin connectors for the 70 x 100 mm and 120 x 205 mm pads and 2-pin connectors for the larger customized blanket formats. Connector choice should match the controller and station being used.
When should I choose the Complete Thermal System instead?
Choose the Complete Thermal System when the lab wants the controller, heating blanket, and rectal probe purchased as a coordinated kit. Use this page when the lab needs replacement pads, alternate pad sizes, or extra warming surfaces.
How does this differ from the water-heated surgical platform?
These are electric heating pads and blankets for compatible controller workflows. The water-heated platform is a pump-driven surgical surface that circulates warmed water through a platform pad.
