Section 2 – Animal Handling

poles 1?

The SafeWrangle Animal Guide, developed by Crist Instrument Co., Inc. has been said to be one of the safest devices on the market for handling your primate. One of the most important safety features is inherent to the ergonomic design of the handle. As opposed to a straight pole, which can easily slip out of the lab technician’s grip, the pistol grip provides better control of the animal because it allows the lab technician to hold the pole more securely. The automatic thumb safety latch, which is unique to our design, provides a secure latching mechanism that straight pole designs do not provide. Once the animals’s collar is securely attached to the stainless steel hook at the end of the pole, the safety latch prevents accidental release. Only after the release of the safety latch can the pole be removed from the collar. The distinctive safety mechanisms of this rugged heavy wall metal pole allow for easy operation with one hand and effective control of the animal from a safe distance. Our SafeWrangle Animal Guide poles are designed for use with the collars listed below, as well as many brands of collars. Our standard models of SafeWrangle Animal Guide are available in lengths of 36 inches (91.5 cm) and 24 inches (60.9 cm). Custom lengths are available upon request.
