Figure 1. — A. Side and top views of the burn template designed to expose ~10% of the TBSA to near-boiling water. Note two Velcro straps hold the rat in place and 2-mm-diameter tubing on either side of the burn window allows escape of trapped air as the burn mold is lowered into the water bath. B. Demonstration of a rat positioned correctly in the burn template. C. Top (left panel) and bottom (right panel) views of the composite rat jacket. The jacket comprised three pieces: a front leg strap, in which the front legs are inserted, sutured to the piece that wraps around the ventral and dorsal surfaces and a Velcro tab that holds the front strap closed when placed on the rat. D. Demonstration of a rat wearing the jacket, which remained on the animals and was well tolerated for up to 11 days.
