Rat Pressure-Volume Loop Catheters, tip F size 2F, body F size 1.1F

The SPR-869 rat pressure-volume catheter is designed to measure simultaneous left or right ventricular pressure and volume in rats. Built to the highest quality standards, the catheter combines a proven Mikro-Tip® pressure sensor with four electrodes to collect real-time pressure-volume data.

Due to its smaller electrode spacing, SPR-869 is becoming a more popular option as cardiovascular researchers continue to focus more on the right ventricle. With a pressure sensor diameter of 2F and 1.1F along the catheter body, this model offers the ideal combination of durability and ease of use for hemodynamic studies utilizing rats 350 g and smaller.

The SPR-869 provides a 12.5 cm usable catheter length and a 6 mm electrode spacing for optimized ventricular volume measurement in smaller rats.

For complete hemodynamic analysis, use the SPR-869 mouse pressure-volume catheter with the MPVS Ultra® or MPVS Ultra® Single Segment system, a modular PowerLab data acquisition system with LabChart analysis software.
