We recommend placing catheters in the femoral vein when research models are intended for long-term access. Our tapered catheters combine features to give you 'the best of both worlds' performance. They are thick walled and heavy-duty where they exit the animal and soft and compliant in the vessel. All of our polyurethane catheters are human quality, FDA approve, TecoFlex, radio-opaque for tip verification and ultra smooth for ease of insertion. Our catheters are available with rounded tips to decrease intravascular trauma. Rounded tips have been shown to increase patency, reduce histologic findings and offer less resistance while being inserted into the vessel. Heparin and Hydrophilic coating available.
