Rodent tail vein catheter, 1F 28cm, 23ga needle with stylet
Allows access for both timed injections and repeated bolus administration. The MTV-1 system incorporates a small catheter that is easily inserted into the tail vein and will remain in site in a restrained rodent for as long as restraint is feasible. Due to the flexibility and size of the catheter, trauma to the tail vein is minimized, allowing for long term and repeated bolus dosing.
By avoiding the damage associated with indwelling needles there is an increased chance that the tail vein will remain viable for the duration of the study.
Tail vein catheters for rats and mice can be easily inserted into the tail vein of a restrained rodent- no surgery needed! The size allows for quick, mistake free access to the tail vein and once inserted, the flexibility keeps vessel trauma to a minimum. Unlike sharp, stiff needles the catheter moves freely up the vein to ensure your dose goes into the bloodstream, not into the surrounding tissue or back out through the insertion site. It bends naturally with the tail, reducing injury and allowing for continuous infusion or repeated bolus dosing
