Catheterization
Specifications
Catheterization can be used for injecting substances (non-vascular catheter except the bile duct catheter) or for sampling (any other type of catheter).
Non-vascular catheters
• Bile duct
• Stomach (injection)
• Duodenum (injection)
• Jejunum (injection)
• Ileum (injection)
• Colon (injection)
• Intra-peritoneal (injection)
• Bladder
Vascular catheters
• Jugular vein
• Femoral vein
• Carotid artery
• Femoral artery
Species and characteristics of the models:
- Outbred and inbred rats with a minimum weight of 200g
- Pregnant females (from day 9-10)
- Mice (jugular and non-vascular catheters : for exemple stomach).
- For other available models, please contact us.
The surgeries are performed under anesthesia with the combined use of anesthetic and analgesic (a2-adrenergic receptor agonist) drugs.
Our implanted catheters are commonly made of polyurethane or silicone (for vascular catheters only).
For vascular catheters, we primarily inject a blocking solution of PVP-heparin or heparin glucose + PVP.
Recommendations
Upon receipt of the animals:
• Allow only one animal per cage (use a high cage).
• Rinse catheters upon receipt than every 2nd day.
• For the double bile duct catheterization, rinse the duodenal catheter only.
