Rat pressure catheter with two sensors - Millar, tip size 2.5F, body F size 2.5F

Code SPR-940

The SPR-940 is a dual pressure catheter that is most commonly deployed in the rat model to measure valve gradient pressures or for pulse wave velocity via the descending aorta. The catheter provides a simultaneous measure of pressure at two locations via a single catheterization. Built to the highest quality standards, the catheter combines two proven Mikro-Tip® pressure sensors for the most accurate pressure measurement.

Features

The first sensor is located at the distal tip of the catheter with the second 2.5 cm proximal. The catheter has a total working length of 135 cm which also allows it to be deployed in large animal models via an appropriately sized introducer or guide catheter. The catheter is 2F from the first sensor to the second and then increases to 2.5F along the rest of the catheter body.
