A protective cell for use in conducting dermal studies on mammals. The protective cell comprises a shell-like section terminating in a leading edge and a rim section integral to the leading edge of the shell-like section and contoured to form a surface for contacting the animal so that the area of skin to be used for the dermatological study is protected. The cavity of the shell-like section is of a shape and volume sufficient to substantially eliminate contact of the interior surface of the shell-like section with the mammal. A method for conduting dermal studies is also provided.
