Continuous infusion studies with durations of 14 days or longer require implanted, indwelling access, regardless of species.  Implanted ports or catheters are also recommended for intermittent infusion studies requiring a high frequency of dosing.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain the skilled surgical staff necessary to perform these procedures without regular training or hands-on practice. SAI’s experienced surgeons offer surgical consulting and practical training to ensure your animals are successfully instrumented and maintained for the duration of the infusion.
