3D-printed lightweight dorsal skin fold chambers from PEEK reduce chamber-related animal distress

Abstract The dorsal skinfold chamber is one of the most important in vivo models for repetitive longitudinal assessment of microcirculation and inflammation. This study aimed to refine this model by introducing a new lightweight chamber made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Body weight, burrowing a...
