Cetacean Research Technology manufactures both standard and custom suction cup attachment systems in addition to our basic "Eye Cups". All suction cups are made from either silicone or polyurethane. Both of which remain flexible down to at least -20C and are rated by the FDA as safe for food contact. These suction cups have been used in captivity and in the wild on species ranging from belugas to dugongs. They provide the most gentle way to attach your instrumentation to cetaceans.

Standard suction cup types:

Eye Cups - silicone suction cups that are used for "blindfolding" cetaceans and temporarily attaching hydrophones to whales, dolphins, or other marine mammals.

Saddle Cups - silicone suction cups with a mounting saddle for attaching various instrumentation tags to cetaceans ranging from belugas to blue whales.

Electrode Cups - we will embed your electrodes into our clear polyurethane suction cups. Common configurations have been used for heart monitors and EEGs.

Ask about our GelRelease™ suction cups. These innovative devices were first developed by Cetacean Research Technology in 1994 for the National Marine Mammal Laboratory. Custom orders are gladly taken.
