Products
Ambulatory multi-therapy infusion pump (small ambulatory pump)
Compact ambulatory infusion pump supporting multiple therapy modes (PCA, continuous, intermittent, variable, subcutaneous, TPN) with flow rates from 0.1 to 400 ml/hr, battery and AC power options, alarms, data storage, and a curvilinear peristaltic pumping mechanism.
Dual-station wireless dual-syringe infusion pump
Dual independent microprocessor-controlled syringe pump system for tethered and ambulatory small-animal use with programmable delivery by rate, time, body weight, and automatic syringe switching, plus built-in wireless communication for remote monitoring.
Modular rodent tether and harness connector system
Modular catheter connector housing and infusion harness system for rodents with replaceable male/female luer fittings, needleless injection sites, neutral/positive-pressure valve technology with antimicrobial protection, and torque-reducing polymer connectors to reduce catheter torque and enable easy replacement of contaminated components.
Tapered polyurethane catheters (rounded-tip)
Tapered polyurethane catheters with atraumatic rounded tips, polished surfaces, and proximal increased wall thickness to resist kinking; available in standard and extended continuous lengths with optional modifications (beads, Dacron, perfusion holes, slit valves).
Catheter tubing by the roll (implant-grade materials)
Supply of implant-grade tubing in multiple materials (polyurethane, silicone, co-extruded PE/PVC, Pebax) and sizes for DIY catheter fabrication or system assembly, provided in defined lengths and cataloged inner/outer diameters.
