NHP Restraint Chair

Plan restraint around the procedure, the animal, and the trained workflow

An NHP restraint chair is part of a complete procedural system that includes animal selection, acclimation, staff training, monitoring, access to the required body area, and a defined release process. The ACP1 gives research teams an adjustable physical platform for that workflow. It should be selected and used only within an institutionally approved protocol and animal-care program.

The chair measures 550 × 600 × 940 mm and uses a stainless steel square-tube frame. Adjustable clamping width allows the setup to be fitted for different monkey sizes, while 2-inch polyurethane casters support controlled positioning in the procedure area. Exact animal-size limits, adjustment range, and included restraint interfaces must be confirmed during quote review rather than inferred from the product image.

Investigators should map the procedure before choosing the final configuration. Identify the required animal posture, target access area, operator position, monitoring equipment, cable or tubing routes, session duration, and the order in which adjustments are made. The setup should allow trained staff to complete those steps consistently while maintaining the observation and intervention access required by the approved protocol. Written setup records can help trained teams reproduce the approved sequence across sessions.

Mobility is useful only when movement is controlled. Review the floor surface, route into the procedure area, final chair position, caster management, and any additional stabilization required during use. Allow adequate clearance for staff, monitoring equipment, emergency access, and safe removal of the animal. The room plan should also cover cleaning, storage, and movement between sessions.

During quote review, ConductScience will confirm the intended species and body-size range, adjustment needs, restraint interfaces, accessory requirements, and room workflow. Share the approved procedural goal and the physical access it requires. The final fit, acclimation plan, monitoring practice, restraint duration, and release criteria remain the responsibility of the institution's qualified research and animal-care teams.
