Product Information Product code : NT-1000

The Britz Normotherm™ Infrared Heater delivers consistent, targeted warmth to small and large laboratory animals, whether for perioperative support, recovery, whelping, or general comfort. Its infrared heating method maintains stable body temperature without overheating the surrounding air, promoting faster recovery and improved animal welfare. The system operates quietly and energy-efficiently, making it a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution for research facilities. Designed for versatility, Normotherm can be used on surgical tables, in recovery cages, or within rehabilitation environments.

  • Consistent, effective infrared heating – Provides gentle, uniform warmth that supports thermoregulation, enhances vasodilation for procedures like tail-vein injections, and aids in post-surgical or rehabilitative care.
  • Quiet, energy-efficient performance – Operates smoothly with minimal noise and low operating costs while preventing excess room heat.
  • Flexible application options – Suitable for perioperative warming, recovery, whelping, and rehab needs, and can be paired with an optional rolling stand and adjustable arm for precise heat placement.

The Normotherm™ Infrared Heater

The Normotherm™ Infrared Heater is an advanced warming solution designed to safely maintain normothermia in laboratory and veterinary animals during recovery, procedures, and routine care. Using far-infrared radiant heat in the optimal 8.5–9 micron range, the system warms the body directly without heating the surrounding air, allowing animals to breathe cool air while maintaining stable body temperature. This non-contact heating approach reduces the risk of burns or overheating while providing efficient, consistent warming that can help improve circulation, metabolism, and recovery following anesthesia. Far-infrared heat is highly efficient, with up to 90% of the energy absorbed by the body, and research has shown warming therapy may also support healing and reduce infection risk. Designed for laboratory and clinical environments, Normotherm provides a quiet, energy-efficient, and safe method for maintaining animal comfort and physiological stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help

What is the Normotherm™ Infrared Heater used for?

The Normotherm™ Infrared Heater is designed to maintain normal body temperature in laboratory and veterinary animals during procedures, recovery, and routine care. It provides consistent far-infrared radiant heat that helps support thermoregulation, improve circulation, and promote faster recovery.

How does infrared heating work?

Normotherm uses far-infrared radiant heat that warms the body directly instead of heating the surrounding air. This allows animals to remain warm while still breathing cool air, which is important for proper thermoregulation and overall physiological stability.

Why is maintaining normothermia important for animals?

Animals, particularly small laboratory species, can lose body heat quickly during anesthesia or procedures. Maintaining normothermia helps prevent complications associated with hypothermia, improves recovery time, supports circulation, and creates safer and more humane procedural conditions.

Is the Normotherm heater safe for animals?

Yes. Normotherm uses a non-contact infrared heating method that reduces the risk of burns or overheating commonly associated with traditional heating pads or direct-contact warming devices. The system warms animals gently and evenly while allowing proper temperature regulation.

What types of procedures can Normotherm support?

  • Normotherm is commonly used for:
  • Surgical and perioperative warming
  • Post-procedure recovery
  • Rehabilitation and therapeutic warming
  • Tail vein dilation for injections or blood collection in rodents
  • General warming during clinical or research procedures
