All our protocols were generated using protocols and feedback from our customers and collaborators. We intend these protocols to act as a guide for those who are new to our telemetry system. The protocols should permit you to estimate how difficule or straigthforward your planned experiments will be. Each institution and each regional government has its own rules for animal welfare. We do not attempt to make sure our protocols adhere to any particular set of welfare rules, but we make every effort to make sure the surgeries we describe cause the absolute mininum trauma to the animals and permit them to live with the minimum of discomfort in the weeks that follow the surgery.
