The Analgesy Meter by Ugo Basile, model 7200 (currently referred to as model 37215), is a scientific instrument used to measure pain thresholds in laboratory animals such as rats. It applies a gradually increasing mechanical pressure to the animal’s paw, allowing researchers to evaluate analgesic effectiveness or inflammatory responses.
