Species Specific Catheters
Only available in Belgium
Features
The catheter size used for dosing and sampling in rodents depends on the access site and vessel size of the rodent. Our species specific catheters have been customized for a specific access target and tailored to animal size. They are constructed of medical grade silicone and polyurethane and are modified by length and bead location to ensure optimal catheter tip placement. The catheters shown below represent only a sampling of what is available and can all be modified to suit individual needs.
