Pressure Catheter (3F, Single, Straight, 60cm, Ny)

Overview:

The SPR-249A Millar Mikro-Tip catheters provide a simple, efficient and highly accurate method for measuring pressures in the heart and vascular system in small and large animals.

The SPR-249A is an ultra-miniature Pressure Catheter (Nylon) with a single 3F pressure sensor side mounted at the tip and suitable for use in rats and rabbits. The catheter has a straight tip and a catheter body which is narrower than the tip sensor providing flexibility and minimal obstruction of the vessels or valves. The catheter has an effective length at 2.2F of 60 cm.

The SPR-249A catheter is reusable and can be repaired. The catheter uses a Viking connector and therefore requires an AEC-10C Catheter Interface Cable for connection to any ADInstruments bridge amplifier.

Calibration
A Pressure Gauge kit which provides the necessary items to calibrate the Mikro-Tip pressure transducer is available.

Features:

Mikro-Tip Catheter Features:

• Record pressure signals directly at the source
• Excellent signal frequency response
• Extremely sensitive and accurate to small pressure changes
• Require no fluid-filled lines
• No motion artifacts
• No signal attenuation
• Do not require correction for barometric pressure as the catheter lumen is vented to atmosphere

Applications:

This Mikro-Tip pressure intravascular catheter provides a simple,efficient and highly accurate method of measuring pressures in the heart or cardiovascular system of rats and rabbits.
