The MASCIS Impactor is a device designed to deliver graded reproducible spinal cord contusions in rats. Developed over ten years ago, the Impactor is part of a well-defined rodent spinal cord injury model that is used in over 100 laboratories around the world. In addition, more than 50% of recent publications on spinal cord injury research used the MASCIS Impactor. Most of the recommended procedures for the Impactor are based on experience with the model and work done by the Multicenter Animal Spinal Cord Injury Study (MASCIS).
The Impactor is now in its third generation with many improvements over previous models. It is available in a model with data recording capability (description and picture links) which requires a Pentium computer. It is also available in a basic model (The Rutgers Impactor) which only does the impact, not the recording of data.
Clamping systems are available for both rat and mouse. A clamping system is necessary for the Rutgers basic model and serves as a functional enhancement for the MASCIS model. (description and picture.) When using a clamping system with the MASCIS model, a CS-tie device also is needed.
The MASCIS Impactor, formerly called the NYU Impactor, was developed in 1991 by Drs. John
Gruner, Carl Mason, and Wise Young. It is now used in laboratories throughout the world in their
spinal cord injury studies. The device precisely measures the movement of a 10-gram rod
dropped 12.5, 25.0, or 50.0 mm onto the T9-10 spinal cord exposed by laminectomy. In
addition, the device measures movement of the spinal column at the impact site, displays the
trajectory of the falling rod, and measures the impact velocity (ImpV), cord compression
distance (Cd), cord compression time (Ct), and cord compression rate (Cr). These impact
parameters correlate with each other and spinal cord lesion volumes (estimated from tissue Na
and K concentrations) and locomotor recovery (BBB scores).
