The Five Keys to Catheter Patency: 1. Get the Catheter Tip Placement Right 2. Use a Closed System 3. Choose the Appropriate Catheter Material and Tip Shape 4. Make Sterile Components Non-Negotiable 5. Apply Positive Pressure Learn more: hubs.ly/Q03cz6kw0

Are you running your infusion pump at rates that are too high for the tubing set you’re using and the catheter that is in your animal? How do you know? Many pumps will show no signs of trouble until it’s too late. Learn more bit.ly/4lQTA4q

Fear of catheter disconnections can lead us to make unnecessary changes to protocols. Rather than make assumptions, we ran our own internal study to understand what it really takes to disconnect a catheter. The results were surprising! See for yourself hubs.ly/Q03f3wRc0

Blood sampling and catheter maintenance syringe checklist: ✔️ Sterile saline for flushing ✔️ Empty syringe for blood draws ✔️ Sterile saline or glycerol for locking Oh, and you can get all three in one kit, prefilled, sterile, and ready to use. bit.ly/4jsxovs

How are you handling your IV Self-Administration connections? There are four main ways to connect your tether or leash to the animal, some better than others. Learn more ways to optimize your IVSA setup in this blog post bit.ly/3RvXbqx

Let's talk about tip profiles for catheterization surgery. Square? Bevel? Round tip? Which is best? The answer is always a round tip catheter. They are less traumatic to the lining of the blood vessels and therefore, increases patency duration. bit.ly/42Pe7Oj

Are you giving your IV bolus doses too quickly? Just 1lb of force from your thumb on a 1mL syringe plunger can generate a dangerous 40 PSI of pressure inside the animal. How do you know what flow rate is safe? We ran a benchtop study to find out: hubs.ly/Q03k30xr0

Time points precisely collected around the clock. Multiple studies run by a single technician. Minimal stress. Improved animal welfare. All possible because of the Automated Blood Sampler. Learn more bit.ly/42rTpna

We're headed to Raleigh for LAWTE! We're looking forward to connecting with old friends and making new ones. So stop by the booth and say hi!

Hello Athens! We're thrilled to be here in Greece among our international colleagues. Come stop by Booth 44 to meet our staff, learn about the Vascular Access Button™, our soon to be released new Syringe Pump, and more! #FELASA2025

Our team is thrilled to be exhibiting at LAWTE in sunny Raleigh. We're here to chat about 3Rs-friendly approaches to rodent sampling and infusion. Come find us and say hi!

We are proud to lead the way in transitioning rodent oral gavage away from traditional metal needles, which have been shown to damage the esophagus, to flexible, soft-tipped plastic tubes. Choose the size that works best for you! bit.ly/3FC8oUe

Preparing syringes for catheter access can take hours of prep. Instead, use sterile, pharmaceutical-grade catheter maintenance kits. One syringe to flush, one to take your sample, and one to lock. Custom formulations available. Learn more hubs.ly/Q03rqSSl0

When simultaneous blood sampling and infusion is required, as with glucose clamping research, a two-channel Vascular Access Button™ for mice is exactly what you're looking for. Learn more hubs.ly/Q03r25Rb0

Sterile, pharmaceutical-grade prefilled syringes for catheter flush and lock solutions not only can help improve patency, but they save time and make life easier! Winning. hubs.ly/Q03rqK1h0

Rodent infusion sets and catheters are made using small tubing which restricts flow. If your rates are too high your dose will be delayed and could leak out without your knowing it. How do you know if your flow rates are putting your study at risk? hubs.ly/Q03k2X4v0
