INTRODUCTION
This chapter briefly presents clinical techniques commonly
used for the restraint, collection of laboratory samples, and
the techniques for the treatment of nonhuman primates. The
techniques in this chapter concentrate on clinical tech-
niques and no attempt is made to present research proce-
dures and techniques. The techniques are presented using
a systems approach. Several techniques are presented that
do not conform to a systems approach but are considered
important clinical techniques. Due to page limitations the
description of the clinical techniques may not be presented
in detail. When possible, references to specific techniques
are listed so one can refer to them for greater detail. Recent
publications of some of the common techniques are not
