Ultra-Miniature Pressure-Volume Catheters Animal Use Only
The World's Smallest Sensor Tip Pressure-Volume Catheter:
PVR-1045
With a catheter tip size of 1F (1/3mm), the PVR-1045 is the newest addition to Millar's market-leading line of ultra-miniature catheters for use in small animal research. The smaller diameter gives researchers a powerful new tool in the characterization of cardiovascular function by allowing access to smaller animals than ever before possible.
Millar’s Mikro-Tip®
ultra-miniature P-V catheters have revolutionized the possibilities
for cardiovascular research in small animals. These ultra-miniature catheters
are capable of measuring both left ventricular
pressure and volume simultaneously from the intact, beating hearts of
mice and rats. They may be used in either closed-chest or open-chest surgical
procedures, as well as in isolated working heart studies.
