The two-channel VAH connects two independent channels as simply as the standard VAH connects one. Install the harness when the catheters are implanted or connect after recovery. Access directly with a syringe fitted with a VAH6M injector or plug in a mating tether for continuous access.
Applications include bile sampling (use the VAHD115L shunt when not sampling) or simultaneous infusion and blood sampling.
NOTE: Instech recommends the Vascular Access Button over the legacy VAH for improved animal welfare, including the ability to group house, and longer patency due to subcutaneous catheters. VABs™ are available in 1, 2, 3 or 4 channel configurations.
NOTE ALSO: These 2 channel harnesses use the legacy 6mm ports while 1 channel harnesses have been converted to 3mm PinPorts.
