Product EnquiryPolyurethane (PU) Intravascular Tubing
This is the most commonly used formulation of polyurethane for laboratory animal research. It is the same tubing Instech use to make their finished catheters. The 2 and 3Fr sizes have been specially extruded to have ideal fits with PinPorts™ and Vascular Access Buttons™: 2Fr fits 25ga nd 3Fr fits 22ga. Relatively kink resistant, the 1Fr size is used in two-piece mouse catheters; the 32ga size is used in intrathecal catheters.
If you will implant this tubing, follow good surgical procedures and sterilize it with ethylene oxide gas. If this is not possible consider finished catheters with rounded tips for ease of insertion and improved patency, suture collars to maintain position in the vessel; Instech manufacture, individually package and EtO sterilize them in their clean room.
For laboratory research only.
Features and Benefits
- Good biocompatibility for implantation
- Stretchy for excellent friction fit on connectors
