Research Pressure-Volume Catheters
Millar manufactures and markets a line of Pressure-Volume (PV) catheters for use with the MPVS Ultra® pressure-volume system. These catheters combine pressure sensors and electrodes for simultaneous high-fidelity pressure and volume measurements, enabling minimally invasive, continuous, intracardiac pressure-volume analysis.
Mouse/Rat Pressure-Volume Catheters
Millar’s Mikro-Tip® ultra-miniature PV catheters have revolutionized the possibilities for cardiovascular research in small animals. These ultra-miniature catheters are capable of measuring both left ventricular pressure and volume simultaneously from the intact, beating hearts of mice and rats. They may be used in either closed-chest or open-chest surgical procedures, as well as in isolated working heart studies.
With the world's smallest catheter tip size of 1F (1/3mm), the PVR-1045 is the newest addition to Millar's market-leading line of ultra-miniature catheters for use in small animal research. The smaller diameter gives researchers a powerful new tool in the characterization of cardiovascular function by allowing access to smaller animals than ever before possible.
