Rat Femoral Tapered Artery Catheters

Tapered Catheters: We employ the most sophisticated medical extrusion technology to produce our tapered catheters for research. They are tapered to give you the best of both worlds without potentially troublesome step-up joints and adhesives. Our tapered catheters are thick walled and heavy-duty where they exit the animal and soft and compliant in the vessel. The kink resistant, durable, exteriorized portion provides strength and reliability where its needed. The small, intravenous portion allows for easier insertion and reduced vascular irritation. Catheter tipping available.

• Tapered design improves fluid dynamics
  
• Human grade FDA approved TecoFlex polyurethane
  
• Radio opaque for catheter verification
  
• Smooth surface for ease of insertion

Tip1: Tapered catheters make vessel cannulation easier with a smaller outer diameter at the vessel site and a rugged connection site..

Tip2: Use Cath-Loc kit to improve quality and speed when multiple sampling or flushing.
