Features

For intermittent access use a syringe fitted with a needlefree PinPort™ injector; for continuous access from outside the cage snap in a mating tether.
The design, updated in 2017, uses magnets for low stress connection, and smaller PinPorts™ so that tethers, injectors and caps are compatible with the two-channel buttons.
They are available with 22ga connectors to mate with 3Fr polyurethane rat catheters, or 27ga for intrathecal catheters.
Group house animals by using the protective aluminum cap — an animal welfare benefit that has never before been available to rats with externalized catheters.
NOTE: The original VAB95BS buttons, with the larger port and twist-in tether connection, remain available.

Features and benefits

1in (2.5cm) polyester surgical felt disk implanted under the skin

22ga (for 3Fr), 25ga (for 2Fr) or 27ga catheter connectors

Catheters are not exposed, preventing evaporation and improving patency

Closed system allows aseptic technique and positive pressure technique which can significantly improve patency

Group house using the protective cap (available in red, blue or green for animal identification)

Needle-free access for safety

Order animals from Charles River or Envigo with the buttons installed as a surgical service
