Безопасное хранение медицинских пиявок в клинике

Once leeches arrive, short-term storage is straightforward — but a few details keep delivered animals healthy and ready until they are needed.

Water and temperature

Leeches are held in clean, dechlorinated water kept cool and changed regularly. Chlorine and warmth are the common avoidable causes of loss in the clinic.

Container and handling

• A secure, ventilated container they cannot escape
• Cool, stable storage away from direct heat and light
• Gentle handling; single-patient use only

Keep the chain intact

Good clinic storage is the last link in the cold-chain that began at the breeding facility. Maintained well, fasted medical-grade animals stay viable and ready to work.
