Rodent Skin Buttons are used for externalizing a catheter or for an attachment of a spring tether to the animal as an alternative to the harness or jacket. The advantage of a skin button is lower chance of infection, secure catheter anchoring and the ability to keep the catheter away from the animal. The silicone sleeve is the perfect size for most all standard rodent tethers and the 1" Dacron Mesh allows for suture attachment and tissue ingrowth.
