Bile Catheters for Dogs

This bile collection system is by far our most popular. With this system the researcher has complete control to either collect bile or stop the bile flow for research studies. The system includes a catheter and access ports. Call for other Bile Collection Catheters from Smiths Medical or Access Technologies. Other access port options are available.

BAD-Cath Features:

• The novel occluding diaphragm holds its open or closed position on its own, making it a low pressure system to operate
• The small (0.02cc) fluid volume needed to tightly seal the diaphragm closed protects the diaphragm from damage due to excess pressure accidentally infused into the system
• The ability to deliver compounds into the duodenum and selectively flush the diaphragm area or the bile duct proximal or distal to the T-Piece

Specifications:

• Catheter materials are silicone construction
• Standard T-arm sizes range from 3F-9F
• Optional duodenal access/flush catheter
• Occluding diaphragms are available in large (dog) or small (nonhuman primate NHP) sizes
• Custom made modifications available for different applications or use in different species.
