Intrathecal Catheters for Rats
These 32ga (0.8Fr) PU (polyurethane) catheters are the gold standard for intrathecal injections in rats. The implanted segment is .010in (250 micron) OD polyurethane. It transitions to a polyethylene (PE) segment that connects to a 27ga luer stub, PinPort™ or Vascular Access Button™. The catheter includes a .003in (75 micron) OD PTFE-coated stainless steel stylet to aid in placement. See the table below for detailed specification sheets.
