Project Description
Millar Mikro-Tip® PV catheters have revolutionized cardiovascular research in small animals. These ultra-miniature Polyimide Nylon catheters are capable of measuring both ventricular pressure and volume simultaneously and continuously from the intact beating hearts of rats and mice.
Rat PV Catheters can be used with:
A Pressure Gauge kit which provides the necessary items to calibrate the pressure transducers is available.
Millar Mikro-Tip Catheters require a certain level of care to ensure accuracy and the anticipated lifespan of your catheters. For a few best practice tips to help get you started with your catheters, see our guide here.
Non-repairable discount options are available for Rat PV Catheters (SPR-869 and SPR-838 only). Contact us to find out more and if this is the right option for you.
Features
