Injury severity

Posted by thryciw on 16 Jan 2013 at 18:55 GMT

I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with giving a 200 kdyne injury to a mouse?
A 200 kdyne contusion in a rat produces a moderate injury, and in our lab a 70 kdyne 1 second injury in a mouse is quite severe, with the animals recovering only to a 1 on the BMS scale.
