Overview

Latex balloons that are designed to measure isovolumetric contractile forces in the left ventricle of isolated perfused rodent hearts, such as in a Langendorff setup. They are available in several different sizes to correspondingly match the sizes of rat to rabbit hearts. A recommended sizing guide is available in Details and Tech Specs below.

Two flexible balloon catheter sizes are available to interface them with a Physiological Pressure Transducer and Bridge Amplifier to measure left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP).
