Mouse Catheters

MOUSE CATHETERS

from SAI




Mouse Tail Vein, Jugular, Tail Cuff, Femoral Vein, and Arterial Catheters

Finally, catheters designed specifically for mice. Each catheter has been customized for a specific access target and tailored to animal size. They are constructed of the same high quality polyurethane used for human applications and are modified by length and bead location to ensure optimal tip placement.

CATHETERS

  • Silicone/Polyurethane construction for low vessel trauma and increase patiency
  • Beads are placed for optimal internal vessel placement and suturing
  • All Catheters can be customized per individual researcher

Tired of Making your own Catheters? SAI can custom make your specific catheters so you can concentrate on more important study aspects. We will reproduce your exact catheter and ship it to you sterile!

Tip1: Dow Pellethane and TecoFlex are polyurethane formulation that have been approved for medical implantation in humans.

Tip2: Use catheters with suture beads to prevent them from pulling out.

Tip3: When catheterizing an animal, always place tension loops to allow for animal growth.

Tip4: Tapered catheters improve fluid dynamics which helps catheter patiency.

SAI Stainless Steel Catheter Connectors:

Stainless Steel connectors are designed to connect two pieces of catheter material together. They provide a secure friction fit for catheter materials such as polyurethane, silicone, polyethylene, Tygon or nylon catheters. Be certain to make sure when ordering that the outer diameter of the connector is at least 0.002" smaller than the inner diameter if the tubing. Softer materials such as silicone will require about a 0.004" difference. Sterilized connectors are individually packaged. 

SAI PEEK Connectors:

For MRI or other applications where metal can not be used, PEEK connectors provide an alternative to the stainless steel connectors. PEEK is formulated from polyetheretherketone resins and is rigid enough to be used as a connector and also has great chemical resistance. These connectors have some flexibility but do not have the ability to bend like other plastics. For longer lengths please call. Sterilized connectors are individually packaged.
