“…In this scenario, infrared equipment has been Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.7, n.4, p. 35275-35292 apr 2021 used in equines 19,20 , dogs 25 , rats 22,26 , and rabbits 27 encompassing anatomical regions of knee joint 25 , heel region 27 , carpus 21 , metacarpus 19,20 , lower lip 22 , and lateral thoracic wall 19,22 . However, most studies that evaluated inflammatory processes using infrared thermography technique did not observe a preoperative evaluation to standardize cutaneous temperature 20,[27][28][29][30] . Moreover, in referred literature 11,12,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] , there are no reports of evaluating ventral abdominal surface temperature, pre or post-implantation of biomaterials, furthermore, few studies used healthy animals in regulated environment with controlled temperature, luminosity, humidity, and air currents 31 .…”
