Catheter Material: Polyurethane (PU)
Specifications: 13mm of 28G PU (0.36 mm OD; 0.18 mm ID) connected to 25.4 mm PU (0.84 mm OD; 0.36 mm ID) connected to a 50 mm ALZET connection (1.02 mm OD; 0.61 mm ID). Total catheter length is 8.8 cm (3.46").
Optimum Animal Size: 30+ grams (insertion marks for adaptation to smaller animals)
Features & Benefits:
- ALZET connection can be trimmed to achieve smaller lengths
- Catheter tip optimum for use with other small vessels (e.g., femoral, carotid, etc.)
- Retention beads at 13 and 35 mm from the tip facilitate anchoring to tissue
- Marked at 9 and 11 mm to simplify adaptation for < 25 and 25-30 gram animals respectively.
