Digital Plethysmometer

digital plethysmometer can indeed be used to measure paw edema in laboratory animals, particularly rodents. Paw edema refers to swelling in the paw, often induced in research settings to study inflammation and test the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs. The plethysmometer measures the increase in paw volume due to edema by quantifying changes in the displacement of liquid within a chamber or by using other similar principles. This provides researchers with quantitative data on the extent of edema and helps assess the effectiveness of various treatments or interventions.
