Primate Tethered Infusion System
| The tethered system is suitable for studies that require large dosing
volumes for extended periods of time or when repeated interaction with
the pump is necessary. With large dosing volumes, syringe pumps may not
be optimal since the largest standard syringe most pumps accommodate is
60ml. Volumetric pumps can handle a wide range of flow rates and can
accommodate reservoirs of 2 liters or larger. Reservoirs and delivery
tubing sets are more expensive but the versatility and convenience are
well worth it. The tethered system requires an indwelling catheter,
either a tunneled exteriorized catheter or an access port (Figure 1 and
2), pocketed jacket, metal tether, swivel, extension lines and an
infusion pump. |
