Plethysmometer - Paw Volume & Oedema
Product Code:37140
Category: Pain and Inflammation
Measures small changes in volume & oedema (fluid retention) to gauge the inflammatory response such as for anti-inflammatory screening tests.
Hands-free operation. Precision measurements. Detects and displays 0.01 ml changes in rodent paw volume. Easy data transfer and software included.
Background
- An original device by Ugo Basile designed to measure paw volume and its changes (swelling) in rodents.
- Used to precisely measure experimentally induced inflammation and changes due to administration of pharmacological substances.
- Over 3000 citations of Ugo Basile’s Plethysmometer in scientific publications.
Precise measurements, hands free operation
- Displays the exact paw volume on the graphic LCD read-out with resolution of 0.01ml. Small differences are detected by an integrated precision transducer.
- Foot pedal freezes the displayed reading and allows for hands-free operation.
- Easy zeroing before making new measurements.
- Measuring tubes available in different sizes.
- Includes Windows® Data Acquisition Software Package for saving data in spreadsheet format (.csv) for analysis in Excel and other software.

The Plethysmometer is an instrument designed to measure small changes in volume, usually via the displacement of water.
In the 60s, Ugo Basile developed the first original device, designed specifically to measure paw swelling in rodents, since then, thousands of scientists have relied on our Plethysmometer to conduct their research on inflammation, publishing almost 3.000 scientific papers!
The instrument is typically used to precisely measure the experimentally induced inflammation of the paw in rodents and its changes due to administration of pharmacological substances potentially active on inflammation.
