Specialized Injection Routes in Rodents

Specialized injection routes in laboratory mice and rats include intracardiac, footpad, and retro-orbital administration. These methods are used when a protocol calls for a route that is less common than standard compound delivery methods.

Each route requires specialized training to perform corre...

Footpad is one of the specialized injection methods that biomedical researchers use for experiments necessitating the delivery of compounds via these atypical routes.
A footpad injection involves subcutaneous administration of the compound into the animal's hind foot. This video will illustrate the considerations, procedures and applicati...
