Only available in Belgium
To meet your particular needs, custom catheters made with a variety of materials and sizes with a wide selection of modifications
are available. Some of the more common modifications requested are shown below. Whether you need a jugular, carotid,
or gastric catheter for any species, from rodents - to non human primates, our catheters will be perfect and consistent from
order to order. We offer expert advice to help you design the optimal catheter.
Retention Sleeve: to secure the catheter & port and act as a strain relief at the junction.
Suture Sleeve: secure the catheter within the vessel or organ
Dacron® Felt Cuff: to promote tissue ingrowth of the catheter.
Perfusion Holes: for perfusion of organs.
Suture Disk: to anchor the catheter in the intestines or bladder
Suture Flange: to anchor the catheter to the tissue.
Solid Plug for Occlusion.
Hollow Plug for Connection.
Peel-Away Introducer
Vein Pick
LSA with Injection Cap.
LSA no cap.
Hydromer anti-thrombogenic coating on polyurethane catheters
Hydromer is a hydrogel material that forms a lubricious coating on our polyurethane catheters. It is biocompatible, anti-thrombogenic & has been shown to significantly reduce platelet aggregation & protein adhesion to the catheter as compared to uncoated catheters. The coating swells instantaneously upon contact with water-containing
fluids, becoming very slippery. The best way to think of this is to compare it to a raincoat - the rain just slides off. This is what happens in the blood stream - the platelets slide off the catheter rather than stick to it. Hydromer coated polyurethane catheters exhibit significant anti-thrombogenic behavior in a vascular environment.
Custom catheter DESIGN options
We can design you a brand new catheter, call to discuss your needs
We can reproduce your existing design, send us a sample and we’ll do the rest
We can modify your existing design, tell us what you need changed and we’ll do the rest
Proper catheter DESIGN considerations
Proper catheter design must be based on, the study design as well as the catheter placement location
