 New! “Essential” retractable access card holder
These tools are needed in most animal facilities to keep access cards, keys, or other small tools ready for quick access. The holders feature a bulldog clip that attaches to your clothing, a 29” retractable cord, and a standard ½” vinyl snap strap to securely hold the access card. To ensure the safety of your facility should the holder become lost, they have no reference to animals or to AALAS, but rather display an important message for lab animal technicians. These make great gifts for everyone on staff! (color: black)
