Our microsurgery laboratory needed a number of surgical rat boards, and considering the expense of the ones already on the market, we decided to make our own. A 14 in × 10 in board was cut from a large Plexiglas® sheet. Suction cups with metal hooks were used to hold the rat in place. We found this board to be less expensive and also very versatile.
